MayDay Parade
Sunday, May 4, 2014


There are three parts to our MayDay event, the Parade, and the Ceremony, followed by a Festival in Powderhorn Park in South Minneapolis until dusk.

Every spring, the MayDay Parade explodes onto Bloomington Avenue! We own the street for the day, dancing and playing instruments with fiery verve.

We tell our story, section by section, each designed musically and visually by MayDay staff artists as a walking theatrical performance.

The Free Speech section follows, where community groups proclaim their names and causes! All together, 2000 participants march, boogie or roll down Bloomington every year.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands more line the streets, enjoying the spectacle and each other. People are everywhere – on rooftops and on lawns, toting babies in backpacks and toddlers in wagons, or sitting knee to knee along on the curbs. Everybody greets neighbors from near and far with a “Happy MayDay!!” The city feels intimate, overflowing with goodwill and spring fever.

The Parade, Ceremony and Festival are free, and donations to support the parade are gratefully accepted!
