As anyone who has participated in a MayDay event on the first Sunday of May will testify, a daze often prevails over the following days. The players had practiced and played their parts. A whole parade of people built a story, with paper, paint, and high spirits, gathered with the storytellers of In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre and wove down a city street, to perform in Powderhorn Park of South Minneapolis. It is a love-in in a manner of the 60s. A community theater with professional directions and guidance. It would be hard to ask for more.
My dilemma is editing down from the 1,100 plus images I shot that day. I have taken two runs at narrowing down the images and have 255 images at my Flickr account. So very much happens on MayDay, it is just so vibrant. I present a little photo essay of some of what happened.
Puppets and Bands; MayDay and Cinco de Mayo
That is just the beginning. Next up I hope to show some of the sights in Powderhorn Park of MayDay 2013.

The series above was taken at the very beginning of the Parade, right before their starting line.
