The Youngstown May Day Festival is a free, inclusive, family friendly celebration at the Calvin Center (755 Mahoning Avenue in Youngstown) that brings together many communities from across the Valley to celebrate human rights and the bounty of nature. May Day is both a historical celebration for organized labor and for many religious traditions who welcome the return of the spring with dance and song. This festival joins the red and green traditions to mingle together historical and present struggles of labor with celebrants of Beltane, those fighting for civil rights, workplace democracy, climate justice, and other supporters of justice, care, and support of a sustainable planet, fair workplace, and inclusive communities.

The Youngstown May Day Festival was created to support the green and red traditions of spring, as written by the first organizers of the festival, Youngstown Solidarity, now part of the Mahoning Valley Solidarity Alliance.

In 2026 we celebrate our sixth festival - join us in making it the best yet!
