And here is the first big reveals: Grandpa Steve Starchild's appearance and he was Hawaiian. There are also two reasons I chose May Day for the gang. First, it was a chance to shed some light on the late Steve. Also, in the military "may day" is something pilots and such say when they're about to crash.
Here's an article about it; https://www.nomadepicureans.com/europe/finland/vappu-finland/
Iit's known as Vappu here, but gets translate as "may day" often. It's honestly a very chaotic, almost riot-like celebration with balloons, graduation caps and alcohol <,<
May day corresponds to the cross-quarter day at the first day if summer (Solstice is *mid-summer*). Padstow, Cornwall still celebrates with a hobby horse mummers' play and a song beginning:
Unite and unite and let us all unite
For summer is a-comin today
And whither we are going we all will unite
On the merry morning of May
There's also a very old Irish song, "Samhra Samhra" or "Thugamar féin an Samhra linn" which identifies May day with the first day of summer.
