The arrival of the decorations

Before we begin the hard work of raising the maypole, we have to decorate it. The decorations are carried to the maypole by the people who will decorate it. Music is a important part of the celebrations. Swedish folk music and folk songs are played. Even the decorations are escorted by music, as you can see in this picture.
