Overview
- Thousands filled the streets around Powderhorn Park on Sunday for the Mayday parade, ceremony and a block party.
- Organizers mixed joyful puppetry and music with pointed protest, including a snowplow float that shoved mangled ICE vehicles and a brigade of bicycle‑powered paper‑mâché whistles.
- The Tree of Life Ceremony honored Renee Good and Alex Pretti, then closed with a towering tree puppet and monarch butterflies as Brass Solidarity played “Love Train.”
- The Dinobago, a drivable T‑Rex built from a Winnebago, rolled with memorial caretakers and, according to reporting, appeared near the site where an ICE agent killed Good in January.
- Vendors reported brisk sales and many attendees called the gathering a welcome sign that the neighborhood feels safe and lively again.
