May Day is the international day of worker solidarity, and we invite you to gather with us for a delicious dinner, lively conversation, and powerful community building.

We will also have a bar with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

Throughout the evening, we will have a variety of speakers and performers sharing stories and songs of the wins and struggles of working people.

This is an opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about fighting for a more equitable and just world, celebrating the power of collective action.

Limited spaces available, so be sure to reserve your spot early!

We look forward to celebrating May Day with you!

Unwaged Tickets

We're in a cost of profits crisis, and not every comrade could afford to join us for dinner even if they want to.

With the proud support of Lieschke and Weatherill Lawyers, they've helped to ease the burden on comrades, who are out of work, retired or not receiving a regular wage to come share a meal with their comrades, and celebrate May Day!
