Installed in 2014, this large silhouette of 12 children dancing around a maypole with a peacock weathervane on the top was done by artist Deborah Linton. It is in commemoration of Naramata's 100th anniversary of learning at the Naramata Elementary School, established in 1914.
Children dancing around the Maypole has been a Naramata tradition since the 1920s.
May Day is a celebration of the community and spring and Naramata is one of few communities in the British Commonwealth to still host the traditional Maypole Dance.
