Since 1989, DAY-MER Culture and Art Festival has been a platform where local and migrant workers, who come side by side in the fields of struggle throughout the year, celebrate their unity, common struggle and international solidarity through culture and art, and has begun to be remembered together with the traditional festivals of the UK.

In Britain, a country of festivals, workers and trade unions have carried the historical actions, strikes, resistances and solidarities that stand out in the labor struggle to the present day through the festivals they organise all over the country. Durham Miners Gala, Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, The Women Chainmakers’ Festival, Silk Mill Festival and Wigan Diggers Festival are among the traditional festivals that come to mind.
