May Day is celebrated around the world as a recognition of labor, with the notable exception of the United States, even though the date commemorates the 1886 Chicago strike for the eight hour workday and the ensuing massacre at Haymarket Square. Come to an almost free ($1 at the door) concert celebrating the history and culture of workers, with labor music from the time of the original May Day to the present, and representatives from local progressive labor unions and campaigns. This rich cultural and historical tradition deserves to be honored, and Swallow Hill is proud to host this musical and educational celebration. Performers will be announced on our website as we confirm them.
Tickets at door only: $1
