Saturday, May 2, 2026 – Open to the Public
May Faire symbolizes the awakening of life and the resurgence of the earth as spring unfolds its vibrant tapestry. In tune with Waldorf principles which honor the rhythms of the seasons, our school embraces this occasion to harmonize students with the natural world. The public is welcome to join in on the fun!
“
There is a sweetness of May verging on June that no other time in the whole year can equal. And by sweetness is meant more than flower fragrance or honey taste; this is the greater sweetness of understanding and emotion, the glow of pleasure in being.

Nature and Community Bonds
At Davis Waldorf School, Mayfair is a cherished festival of a time which marks halfway between spring and summer. A celebration steeped in cultural, educational, and communal significance, this festive occasion is deeply rooted in the Waldorf educational philosophy, which underscores the importance of fostering connections with nature and cultivating community bonds.
