The MayDay Parade & Festival is presented with the assistance of the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board.

MayDay Festival

Thank you to everyone who braved the chilly winds to attend and participate in the 2011 MayDay Parade and Festival! We hope your hearts were warmed and your spirits awakened with the theme Caws to Unite! The 38th Annual MayDay Parade and Festival is scheduled for Sunday, May 6, 2012.

The MayDay Festival follows the MayDay Parade and Ceremony and features music, dancing, poetry, foods, canoe rides, and more.

SUPPORT MAYDAY!

For 37 years, HOBT has brought people together for the MayDay Festival. Less than one-half of the $260,000 needed to produce this one-of-a-kind event is covered by fees, ad sales and grants.

After the Parade & Ceremony, you’ll see volunteers with Donation Buckets. You can also donate at any HOBT Information or T-shirt booth. If you value and enjoy MayDay, please be as generous as you can.

MayDay Depends On You!
