Hundreds gathered in Minneapolis on Sunday to mark the 50th annual Mayday Parade, a long-standing celebration of the arrival of spring.
The parade, organised by local artists and volunteers, saw a colourful array of dancers, giant puppets and a whimsical battletrain. It made its way through several neighbourhoods on the city’s south side, drawing cheering crowds along the route.
Festivities ended at Powderhorn Park with the Tree of Life Ceremony, a symbolic performance honouring the sun and the changing seasons.
Organisers say the city’s Mayday Parade has been an annual celebration of art and community for 50 years.
