A Garland for May Day 2026

Come celebrate this ancient Celtic spring festival and honor the wisdom of our folk traditions that connect us to the land. This date was chosen as International Workers Day to both memorialize the Haymarket Riot and to affirm the resilient, resurgent movements for labor rights that are part of the fight for life. Also, this is the feast day for St Joseph the worker.

You can expect to learn some history and songs and participate in a planting ritual in the center of our garden to welcome the coming of spring. 

Afterward, we will share a community potluck and stories around a bonfire. You are encouraged to bring a dish, but we want you there regardless of what you can or can’t bring. All are welcome to this free/donation event!
