Battletrain heads to Powderhorn
The Southside Battletrain, an elaborate art vehicle, participates in the annual MayDay Parade in South Minneapolis in 2024. This community event, known for its vibrant artistic expressions and political messaging, traditionally marches down Bloomington Avenue before concluding at Powderhorn Park. The Battletrain, a prominent mobile sculpture, often features pyrotechnics and performers, symbolizing community resilience and creative protest. Organized by In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre since 1975, the MayDay Parade is a long-standing cultural tradition in Minneapolis, celebrating spring and community while addressing social and political themes.
