May Day Friends

It takes a large and active community to create the MayDay Parade and Festival.

To all of you who planned, brainstormed, organized, fundraised, gave money and/or supplies, sculpted, sewed, pâpier mâchéd, stapled, built, painted, cooked, cleaned up, sang songs, played music, and danced:

THANK YOU!

MayDay Sponsors

Every April, In the Heart of the Beast opens its doors to our community for a month of free workshops during which the MayDay parade -- floats, masks, puppets, and costumes -- is built. People of all ages and walks of life work together to create one of the most beloved events in the Twin Cities.

The financial and in-kind sponsorships of businesses and foundations help us make this community endeavor possible, keeping the workshops free and open to all.
