Maifest, or May Day, is celebrated May 1, and celebrates the arrival of spring. This pagan-rooted celebration was the celebration of leaving the darkness or cold winter, and entering the warm and bountiful spring. In Germany and Austria, people of the cities and villages will decorate and assemble a Maibaum, or maypole, and celebrate the leaving behind of the darkness as they dance around a large bonfire. The dancing around the maypole symbolizes spring and the awakening of the earth, and of course, as with every German celebration, there is food and drink. A popular drink is Maibock, a special, strong spring beer.
Maifest like many other traditions traveled to America with German immigrants, and we invite you to keep this wonderful German tradition alive.
