In the article, I analyze First of May commemorations in the city of Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I consider them as propitious moments in the development of working class identity in which the proletariat, taking to the streets, proudly displayed its symbols and the strength of its cohesion before other sectors of society. I also consider them as moments in which the significance of the date was disputed and through which it is possible to observe both the influence of different ideas circulating at the time and of contradictions within the international labor movement at the crossroads of the 19th and 20th centuries.

En el articulo analizaré las conmemoraciones del Primero de Mayo en la ciudad de Porto Alegre, capital de Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, pensándolas como momentos privilegiados de la construcción de la identidad obrera en los cuales el proletariado, ganando las calles, presentaba orgullosamente sus símbolos y la fuerza de su cohesión frente a los otros sectores de la sociedad, y también como momentos de disputas en torno al significado de la fecha, a través de los cuales es posible observar tanto la influencia de la circulación de las ideas como las contradicciones del movimiento obrero internacional en el paso del siglo XIX al siglo XX.
