MAYDAY LIVES! Come get down to a decentralized South Minneapolis annual rite by showing up for an informal parade along Bloomington Avenue between the Grease Pit and Powderhorn Park at 12:00 Noon on May 1st, followed by a rally and festival on the intersection of Chicago & Lake Street at 2:00pm organized by Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater in coordination with Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue, MN Immigrant Rights Coalition, Migizi, El Collegio and Roosevelt Highschool. I’ll be with Daughters and Sons of Yta, a local Scandinavian Spirituality practice group during the march and presentations at Chi-Lake.

From Southside Battletrain (coordinating Mayday parade): Southside we outside! In addition to other events Southside we will be doing our thing🚂
We are rolling from the Grease Pit on MayDay at 12 NOON. Assembling at 11:0 for Final safety meeting. All are welcome to join us. We will head to the park and hang.
Let’s get together in the street

From Heart of the Beast (coordinating Mayday rally and festival): The festival will take place May 1, 2022 from 1 to 4 pm in the Four Directions Family Center Parking lot, 1527 E. Lake St., Minneapolis, MN.

Heart of the Beast (HOBT) and our MayDay Council are collaborating with three incredible local organizations to plan this year's MayDay celebrations.

MayDay Season 2022 is led by Roosevelt High School, MIGIZI, and Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue.

Our community partners have been engaging even more local organizations in their planning process. For instance, they are working with organizers from MIRAC (MN Immigrant Rights Coalition) and are bringing in youth from El Colegio to create art for MayDay celebrations.

Thanks to our generous donors HOBT is funding these MayDay celebrations.

Music will be performed on 3 stages in Powderhorn Park throughout the afternoon, more information on performance schedules for the stages available here.
