The Parade has a new format, and everyone is invited to participate! You can register yourself or a group to be in the parade, but please make some ART to participate, not just carrying signs or slogans. You can register your group on our “Parade” page. There is no cost to join the Parade, but consider making a donation to support Mayday’s sustainability!

If you’re not up for making art for a parade section, you can also reach out to Powderhorn Park about setting up a table or small info booth in the park.

Yes! If your group wants to host a community event or have a table in the Park during Mayday, you MUST REGISTER with Powderhorn Park Director Liz Kraus before April 15, 2025.  Email ekraus@minneapolisparks.org for more information.
