Rain Date Information

Saturday, June 4, 1:00 – 5:00 PM

  • In the past, May Day has been held rain or shine. But this year, we wanted to have a plan so almost all of the event can be outside.
  • Inflatables can only be set up outside (per HCPSS policy), and we didn’t want rain to ruin the fun!
  • May Day is a BIG event and we’d like as many people as possible to feel comfortable!
  • In the event of rain on BOTH days, the event will be moved inside on June 4th, 1-5 PM.
