On May 1, four hundred Westerners wearing traditional Chinese-blue factory worker suits will all walk together from the Lido Hotel to the Dashanzi 798 Factory District.

It's not a protest march, it's an art event called Short Step organized by Kilometer Zero, "an international collective of artists and writers who met in Paris, through George Whitman’s Shakespeare and Company bookstore in the year 2000"

While on the subject of marches, last weekend's protest activities have been documented and analyzed all over the Internets:
