About A Day in May

The co-founders of Cultural Arts Foundation, Liz Haseley and Terri Robert, were aware that Lake Geneva is home to a wide variety of talented artists. They wanted to expand the opportunities for young people to become involved in the arts and engage their creativity.

In 2004, the Lake Geneva School District, along with Surita Hall-Essex, President of Healthy Community, Healthy Youth (HCHY) got involved with the Day in May Parade. The objective of HCHY is to nurture competent and responsible children and young adults. The children identified the cultural arts as an area of interest and one that was not readily accessible to all groups.

The two groups joined together and created the Day in May Parade as a means to meet the needs of the HCHY students and allow Lakes Area artists to showcase their talents.

The first Day in May parade was held in 2004.
