May Day Parade postponed

Last night's torrential downpour and today's weather forecast has convinced the organizers of the 38th annual May Day Parade to rethink their plans.

This morning In the Heart of the Beast posted to its Facebook page the following message:

Unfortunately, due to standing water in the park and poor weather, we have decided to POSTPONE the MAYDAY FESTIVAL until the rain date next weekend. The MayDay Festival will happen on SUNDAY MAY 13. The parade will kick off at 1:00 PM and all other details will remain the same.

PLEASE help us spread the word- SHARE this with your networks. See you next Sunday and Happy MayDay.
