The MAYFAIR is the Transmodern Festival's free afternoon of site-specific performances that explore the nooks and crannies of Baltimore. The MAYFAIR celebrates May Day. May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labor Day. It is a day of demonstrations and celebration, it also signals the birth of spring. It is a holiday for fertility, flowers, the goddess Flora and Saint Mary. The MAYFAIR is our day of merrymaking to celebrate re-generation, renewal and creation! It is in this spirit, that we are presenting an afternoon of revelry featuring performance, action, music, a Love Parade and a Maypole Dance on Sunday, May 5, 2013. Expect interventions and participatory works that celebrate regeneration, sustainability and notions of creating anew! The MAYFAIR will be located in Current Gallery’s backlot and in Tyson Alley, south of Franklin Street between Eutaw Street and Park Avenue, as well as surrounding streets in Baltimore.
