May Day March and Celebration
Join us to celebrate the international struggle for freedom on May Day, the original Labor Day! May Day is a day to honor all the work that has been done to bring us to greater freedom and justice and to spark the light and energy we need to keep at it!
The event will start off with a rally on the steps of the Humboldt County Courthouse at noon. An interpretive march will begin at 1:00, where you can learn about historical local struggles.
The march will bring us to the Old Town Gazebo in Eureka, where you can enjoy some music, hear from speakers, and visit with tablers who are doing great work for our community.
From 2:00 to 4:00, we will hear from speakers on a wide variety of topics covering the history of May Day, local unionizing and labor struggles, economic democracy, racial justice and immigrant rights, ecological resilience, and anti-colonization/ anti-imperialism.
Beginning at 4:00, we’ll celebrate with music and dancing, compliments of Moonsong Band, Irie Rockers, Dead Bird Son, DJ Pressure, Unholy Orifice, Blackplate, and more!
This is a day to celebrate freedom and honor the memory of those who died in the struggle at the hands of the police, the bosses, and their agents. So in case it doesn’t go without saying, POLICE ARE NOT WELCOME AT THIS EVENT, out of respect for the history of the day and for the safety and comfort of attendees.
