May Day Celebration
May 2 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
You’re Invited: Community May Day Celebration
Our community is coming together to celebrate May Day on Saturday, May 2nd, from 1:00 p.m until 4:00 p.m. (weather delay; previously scheduled for 10 a.m. – 2 p.m). This event will bring us together in a way that harks back to days gone by. Come and join the celebration!
The Anna T. Jeanes School was the first African American school in Fairhope. For generations, it served as a gathering place for May Day celebrations. This event epitomized unity, cultural pride, and youth engagement within the community. Hope Community is reviving this cherished tradition to honor our elders and educate the community on its historical significance.
The May 2nd celebration will encompass traditional maypole wrapping for the young and the not so young. The festivities will also include field games, face painting, a cake walk, a clown, popcorn, and cotton candy.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic and their own chairs. Free hamburgers and hot dogs will be available on a limited basis.
Date: May 2, 2026 Time: 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. (Rain date: May 9, 2026)
Location: Anna T. Jeanes School property, 6925 Twin Beech Rd, Fairhope, AL
