May Day Celebration

All community members are invited to join Milwaukee Recreation at our third annual May Day Celebration at Hawthorn Glen! Celebrate spring by learning about plants that are native to the area, exploring nature trails throughout the Glen, and seeking out treasures left by the fabled Hawthorn Fairy.

Participants will also craft a handmade flower crown to take home, and can join in the traditional maypole celebration.
