MAY DAY festival 2008!

In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater will be our hosts for the MayDay parade and festival. The first one was in 1975 and each year there is a theme for the parade and the ceremony, followed by the festival in Powderhorn Park I missed last year's festival, but this year we will be there! The forecast is for dry and mild weather, not too hot.
These pictures are from 2006. One of my favorite moments is when the Sun comes across the lake to meet the May Tree.
The Star Tribune posted this great video about all the preparations of building the costumes, floats, and puppets for the parade, an effort that involves the community.
