May Day, the traditional welcoming of spring, will be celebrated by Savannah-Chatham County Public School students at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 1, 2007 with a traditional Maypole dance and performances in Calhoun Square. Students will dress in spring attire and perform ethnic dances from around the world.  

Massie School’s May Day celebration has evolved into one of the largest multicultural events in the school system. This festival is a long-standing Savannah tradition.  May Day in Calhoun Square, a tradition as old as the school itself, is an important part of the Heritage Education program at Massie Heritage Interpretation Center.  Appropriate music, a graceful queen and her court, colorful dances and Maypoles decorated in pink and white are the scene in Calhoun Square on May Day.

This event is free and open to the public.
