May Morning 2026 at Trimble Park

 On Friday May 1, as is our tradition, we will dance the sun up at Trimble Park in Point Grey starting at about 5:30 AM! Rain or shine, whatever day of the week May 1 falls on, we will be there along with our sibling Morris side, the Vancouver Morris Men, and with others who love this seasonal celebration. 

There will be dancing, singing, music, a May Monarch and Green Man, a Padstow 'Oss, a Hobby 'Oss, most likely a Maypole, tea, garlands of May flowers, and much festivity!

Trimble Park is at Trimble @ W8th in Point Grey near UBC. We will be in the basketball court.

Afterwards (from 7-9 AM), we will have breakfast and more singing in the lovely Turkish restaurant, Simit Bakery Café at 2268 W4th Avenue @ Vine/ Yew. They are opening specially for us, and want to welcome us back next year too. If you're coming for breakfast, it's recommended to place an online order the evening before (AFTER they close at 6 PM Thursday!) so they can get things rolling before we get there: https://www.simitkitsilano.com/s/order?location=LWVDJ9M4XF6WE.

Every year it's so difficult to get up and into kit in the dark at 4:15 AM -- and then it's absolutely wonderful to be waking up with the world with all our Morris friends once we're all together looking over the ocean! Always well worth it.
