Join Folk School students, staff, and community for our annual English tradition of the May Day Parade and Maypole Dance in celebration of Spring.
Each year, The Brasstown Morris Dancers and Band lead a parade that begins at Festival Barn and ends at the Maypole located next to Davidson Hall. Once there, dancers dressed in white circle around the maypole to participate in several traditional ribbon dances. Puppets, costumes, and revelry are always part of the Folk School’s May Day celebration. It’s an incredible sight each year.
Below, find a playlist of videos from past May Day parades and dances.
Please contact Charmaine Slaven for more information around May Day celebrations.
