welcoming spring together

Every year, beginning in February with community meetings, and culminating on the first Sunday in May, we wrestle with big issues and big ideas through community dialogue, art-making and play.

Each year, Mayday needs and invites many people to work together, crafting relationships that weave our community together in surreptitious ways.
