Yes. Many pagans still do. I'll be celebrating it for the first time with my boyfriend's family.

Of course people still celebrate Beltaine. I have gone to many celebrations. It is basically a time to celebrate the return of Spring. Fertility and abundance magic are performed.
According to this website: http://www.chalicecentre.net/beltaine.htm
The following is how to celebrate Beltaine in todays world:
To Celebrate Beltaine Today
Arise at dawn and wash in the morning dew: the woman who washes her face in it will be beautiful; the man who washes his hands will be skilled with knots and nets.
If you live near water, make a garland or posy of spring flowers and cast it into stream, lake or river to bless the water spirits.
Prepare a May basket by filling it with flowers and goodwill, then give it to one in need of caring, such as an elderly friend.
Beltaine is one of the three "spirit-nights" of the year when the faeries can be seen. At dusk, twist a rowan sprig into a ring and look through it, and you may see them.
Make a wish as you jump a bonfire or candle flame for good luck—but make sure you tie up long skirts first!
Make a May bowl —wine or punch in which the flowers of sweet woodruff or other fragrant blossoms are soaked—and drink with the one you love.

I do! I don't have a maypole, but it's a feast day for me!
It's also my son's birthday.
