May 1, known as May Day, has long been celebrated as the midway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.
Like those days, May Day marks a specific time of year and the changing seasons — the days are growing longer, the weather is warmer and more wildlife and humans are likely to be out and about.
Celebrations of spring marking May Day are held in many different parts of the U.S., with maypole dances in some communities.
In the 20th Century, it was also popular to make May Day flower baskets and gift them to friends and neighbors.
