Celebrate May Day at Haymarket House
Sat May 4, 2024 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Haymarket House (800 W Buena), 60613
Description
Join us for an afternoon of camaraderie, delicious food (including vegetarian and vegan options), and refreshments as we celebrate the community we’re building around Haymarket House, featuring toasts from Haymarket authors and supporters. This event is family friendly and will be held outside in the Haymarket House garden, weather permitting.
While this event is free to attend, it is our annual fundraising party for Haymarket House so we encourage donations to support our ongoing work creating a vibrant home for culture, politics, and community in Chicago.
Please register through Ticket Tailor if you plan to attend so we have an accurate headcount for food and refreshments. If you are part of an organization we have an organizational ticket option so you can bring all your folks with just one registration.

At Haymarket Books, we take inspiration and courage from our namesakes, the Haymarket Martyrs, who gave their lives fighting for a better world. Their 1886 struggle for the eight-hour day—which gave us May Day, the international workers’ holiday—reminds workers around the world that ordinary people can organize and struggle for their own liberation. These struggles—against oppression, exploitation, environmental devastation, and war—continue today across the globe.
Thank you to Revolution Brewery for supporting this event.
