May Day in the Park 2023!
Two years running we've been able to hold space in the Powderhorn Park on May Day to host community sourced sound systems & bring dance music to gatherings in the park.
This year will be the same and we'll be adding to the autonomous happenings throughout the day. The music starts at Noon 12pm & finishes promptly at 6pm.
Sound by The People's Sound, The Headspace Collective, Wizhardhaus, and Technsoferatu.
:: There will be porta johns accessible outside the park community building.
:: Please respect the neighbors near the park, this event functions more as a day long pop-up and not a fest.
:: Please respect the autonomy of other events happening that may not be affiliated with "May Day in the Park." The parks are for everyone & anytime.
:: Will do a run of free zines educating around International Workers Day!
Many folks will probably meet up with the Southside Battle Train at 26th and Bloomington on May 7th between 11 a.m. and noon.
ALEBRIJES Bike Ride is going to join HERE COMES THE SUN Kids Mayday Noise Parade at PowderhornParkRec . SUNDAY MAY 7,2023 at 2pm .

There should be a couple thousand folks wandering the park on this day. Bring a drum (and a chair!) and join us in our traditional spot, on the southwest shore of the lake, a hundred feet up from where the Sun Flotilla lands their May Day Sun/Tree of Life puppet. We, in fact, drum those canoes across the lake (at 3:00 PM). So try to be here by that time to help make it the special event it has always been for all those who come out.
Some chairs and drums available for loan.
