On May 1, 2026, labor unions and organizations in Chania marked the 140th anniversary of the Chicago labor uprising with a rally and a ceremony at the Pasakaki monument. The event drew a modest turnout of citizens and union members. May Day is a national public holiday in Greece, which means many shops, banks, and government offices in Chania will be closed for the day. Tourists visiting Chania on May 1 should plan ahead by stocking up on supplies the day before, as reduced services are common. Supermarkets and tourist-facing businesses in the old town may have limited hours. The rally took place in a public area, so minor traffic disruptions in the city center are possible, though the event was small in scale.
