It’s time again for the unique Rhode Island tradition of May breakfasts. On May 1, which is May Day – often on the first Saturday in May – these spring breakfasts are held in church halls, fire stations, community centers and grange halls – a tradition that dates back to 1867 when the first May breakfast was held.

Golden yolked eggs served sunnyside up, pancakes dripping with maple syrup, decadent crispy bacon… no one can deny the allure of breakfast food. Rhode Islanders love morning munchies so much that we have a special May tradition specifically dedicated to the first meal of the day. This month, party with fellow breakfast lovers while supporting a number of good causes at any one of these May Breakfast events.
