Come join the community as we celebrate life and the return of Spring at the biggest Spring parade and celebration in the Twin Cities.
In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre’s Annual MayDay Parade, Ceremony, and Festival has been a vibrant example of art as community building in the Twin Cities area for 40 years.
This year's theme is "Wonder? Wonder!" which connects fittingly with one of Sunday Assembly's mottos: Wonder More!
Join us at Powderhorn park for the fun!

About the May Day Parade:
For many in Minnesota, the MayDay Parade is a time to celebrate the coming warmth with hand-built puppets and masks (some over 10 feet tall), music, and performance in the street. But the essence of the parade is rooted in the local community and contemporary issues, concerns, and visions for a better world.
When the community workshops begin the first Saturday of April, the theater’s main performance space is converted to a giant studio space. Throughout the month, everyone is invited to the 16 public workshops, and all who enter participate in the building of this communal story through the creation of puppets and masks.
By the time the parade unfolds on the first Sunday of May, more than 50,000 people from near and far fill the streets both as participants and spectators for this day of celebration and community.
Glad this was organized by the group. While it was too crowded to meet the others, I and another friend went and had a great time. Thanks for the heads-up about the event, I've wanted to catch this for years and finally did due to the notice you provided. Those puppets are awesome!

Saw a bunch of friends, but couldn't find this group in the crowds. Hope others had as good a time as we did!
