ARC is excited to participate in this year’s MayDay Parade, which happens to fall on International Respect for Chickens Day—a perfect opportunity to raise awareness and celebrate chickens as individuals who deserve compassion and respect.
🐔 Our theme: Respect for Chickens! One of our staff members will lead the group in a fun inflatable chicken costume, followed by volunteers carrying the ARC banner, egg-shaped signs, and two symbolic “egg garlands”—one with 350 eggs, the other with 25 eggs—to highlight the scale of exploitation in the egg industry. We’ll also be pulling a large egg on wheels as part of our visual display.
If our group includes more than 20 participants, we may need a designated safety walker—so please RSVP on POINT to help us stay organized and safe.
Let’s keep it positive! This is a joyful, family-friendly event. We ask all participants to share our message in a kind and respectful way.
👕 Dress Code:
Please wear a black ARC shirt or Vegan Compassion shirt from Ethique Nouveau if you have one. Otherwise, a plain black shirt works great—we want to look cohesive as a group.
🕚 Meet-Up Time & Location:
Join us at 11:00 AM in Cedar Avenue Field Park (2500 Cedar Ave. Minneapolis, MN 55404) at the corner of 18th Ave S and E 25th St so we can organize and walk to the parade start together. We will leave at 11:20 am sharp to head toward the parade start.
The parade is scheduled to begin at noon, but may start moving earlier—so don’t be late! Full details will be sent to those who RSVP through POINT.
👣 Accessibility Note:
We’ll be moving along the parade route for over 12 blocks. If you're signing up, please ensure you’re able to walk or roll that distance comfortably. Your safety and comfort matter!
🌱 Post-Parade Potluck!
After the parade, head over to Chicken Butt Microsanctuary for a potluck at 5:00 PM. View Potluck Details Here: https://www.meetup.com/vegan-415/events/307343838/?eventOrigin=group_events_list
