MayDay 2008 in Minneapolis, the parade to Powderhorn Park
2008 May 5
To welcome in spring, and celebrate May Day and Cinco De Mayo, the Heart of the Beast puppet theater works with community organizers to stage a parade and festival on a Sunny May Sunday. This year the weather was absolutely perfect, the turnout to watch the parade was huge, and the Democrats made a major showing as most candidates from within the party had a presence in the parade – prominently including Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak leading an Obama delegation, Representative Keith Ellison, and Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer.
Here are a number of thumbnails from before, during, and after the parade. Each features a link to a larger-image and most have one to a “super size” file, too.
