Spring Moon

A celebration designed to honor the threshold of summer and International Workers’ Day: Walk into ritual, fashion, poetry, and live music.

🌕 Join us after the May Day march for Spring Moon, a free community event where we will celebrate Mother Earth and reimagine our collective future.

On May 1st, 2026, the Villa Terrace Museum & Gardens transforms into a cocoon for rebirth and collective imagination. Marking both the ancient threshold of summer and International Workers’ Day, Spring Moon is a community-centered celebration featuring ceremony, fashion, poetry, and music. We honor the hands that build and the waters that sustain us.

Experience Highlights:

• Ceremony & Wellness: Participate in a Sound Bath (5:00 PM), Grounding Ceremony (5:40 PM), and EFT Tapping (6:00 PM).

• Music & Poetry: Enjoy a Music Welcoming by Teacher Marcya (6:30 PM), Poetic Offerings from Kavon Cortez Jones (6:50 PM), and a live sonic offering by Death Is A Business (8:10 PM).

• Community Conversation: Join the "Water and Workers" Panel (7:10 PM), a discussion exploring collective responsibility to land, water, and labor in the face of the AI revolution.

Ongoing Attractions:

• The Earth Market- a curated circle of local vendors.
• The Water Cycle, a fun interactive water tool on wheels made out of a rainbarrel by Milwaukee Water Commons, a cross-city nonprofit network that promotes water justice, stewardship, and equitable decision-making for Milwaukee's shared water resources.
• Fashion inspired by Mother Earth designed by Marlie-Madison Hansen.
