May Day celebration and maypole erection

Other tradition, custom, folk festival

The erection of the maypole: a true East Frisian tradition!

Depending on where you come from, you are probably familiar with various traditions surrounding the dance into May. In East Frisia, the maypoles are traditionally erected on the day before 1 May - but there's a catch, because the maypoles can be stolen. 
On Juist, the local association has been responsible for putting up the maypole for decades. You can find even more exciting information about the East Frisian maypole on the website of the Juist local history association.
