Maypole Day is a fun celebration on May 2nd where people dance around a tall pole called a maypole. This tradition comes from Europe and welcomes the spring season. The maypole is decorated with colorful ribbons, and children hold the ribbons while dancing in circles around the pole. As they move, the ribbons weave into pretty patterns. People also enjoy music, singing, and sometimes other games. Maypole Day is a joyful way to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather and blossoming flowers, making it a special time for families and friends to come together and enjoy the outdoors.
