On Saturday, April 26, 2025, the traditional raising of the maypole by Dresden’s carpenters will once again take place on Dresden’s Altmarkt. Afterwards, the maypole is festively danced around in a ribbon dance and the 20 m long ribbons are danced and woven. The whole thing is framed by a hearty carpenter’s clap, a performance by the folklore dance ensemble “Thea Maass” from the TU Dresden and sociable dances for spectators.
The event is organized by the city of Dresden, the Dresden Guild of Carpenters and the folklore dance ensemble “Thea Maass” of the TU Dresden.
