perhaps May Day is a German holiday that we just decided to absorb into the American goo, but here they do it up right. i remember as a kid making paper flower baskets and hanging them on doors, then ringing the bell and running. so simple, so cute. well take that times 500 and then you will get german "maidult". a good way to picture it is oktoberfest smaller scale meets the sound of music. tents, beer, lederhosen, dancing round the maypole, what have you... there was no more room for us in the tent, so we just went to a nearby restaurant and watched the young lederhosen clad men (with their adidas shoes) chase the dirndled ladies (plus purple hair). a little generational clash perhaps for our amusement. i am loving learning about this place!
