'2019 May Day Parade Will Be the Last,' Says Heart of the Beast
Minneapolis, MN
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to publicly celebrate a pagan holiday in a pagan city, Bealtaine 2019 may be your last chance to find out.
Heart of the Beast Mask and Puppet Theater in Minneapolis announced yesterday that this year's May Day Parade and Celebration, the 45th, will be the last.
For 45 years, people of every religion and ethnicity have danced down Bloomington Avenue on the first Sunday in May to celebrate the end of Winter and the Coming of the Sun. It has become one of the signature celebrations of our year, to Minneapolis what Mardi Gras is to New Orleans.
For 45 years, May Day has been the one day a year when everyone becomes an honorary pagan.
If you want this tradition to continue, Heart of the Beast needs your contributions, and they need them now.

The Heart of The Beast May Day Celebration is the very center of Paganistan! It is heart-breaking to think of this treasure of the Northland being lost. I call on all Pagans near and far to come experience it this year and support it. Gods willing, we will find a way to save it!
