Thank You for Making May Day New Haven 2011
a Great Success!
The May Day Celebration Committee would like to thank all our sponsors, endorsers and volunteers who helped make the 2011 May Day New Haven event a great success.
The celebration on the New Haven Green was a bold proclamation for peace and showed an unyielding determination for justice. Numerous unions and community groups participated in the rally and march to support immigrant and workers’ rights. John Olsen, President of the CT AFL-CIO addressed the crowd, numerous musicians and poets took to the stage, and students from Katherine Brennan and Worthington Hooker schools presented their “Family Work History Project.” There were fun activities from the traditional Maypole to hula-hooping and juggling.
Enjoy looking through our website! Think about what your vision for international solidarity and peace is, and let’s make it happen for May Day 2012!

Twenty-five years ago a group of friends decided they wanted to create a May Day Festival on the Green in New Haven, CT. We formed the May Day Celebration Committee. We are all volunteers and the group is open to anyone who wants to help.
Our vision 25 years ago remains the same - to organize a multi-cultural festival that honors and celebrates our labor history and the labor, peace, social service and social justice groups that today continue the struggle for peace and human rights.
