The Garden Club of Old Annapolis Towne Invites Residents and Businesses to Join in the 66th Annual May Day Celebration.
Annapolis, MD – A springtime tradition is continuing in Annapolis! The Garden Club of Old Annapolis Towne invites Annapolis residents and businesses to join in the 66th Annual May Day celebration by displaying colorful baskets of flowers in front of their home or business on Saturday, May 1, 2021.
Participants, observers, and visitors are encouraged to use social media to share photos of their favorite baskets by using the hashtags: #maydayannapolis2021 and #66thannapolismayday.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and attendant social gathering restrictions, the Garden Club will not be awarding blue ribbons, but encourages residents to set out May baskets by 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 1, so that the community has a full day of viewing the colorful baskets around town.
“May Baskets are a rite of spring in this City. I am looking forward to wandering City streets with my wife to discover our favorites on May 1,” said Mayor Gavin Buckley.
This year’s theme is showing gratitude and appreciation for healthcare workers and other helpers in our community. Feel free to be creative and use flowers from your garden and other items you already own.
