Other labor organizations (and there were many), but notably the affiliates of the International Workingmen's Association, many of whom were socialists or anarchists, favoured a May 1 holiday. In 1884 another parade was held, and the Knights passed resolutions to make this an annual event. They were inspired by an annual labor parade held in Toronto, Canada. The origins of the American Labor Day can be traced back to the Knights of Labor in the United States and a parade organized by them on September 5, 1882 in New York City.
