Depends on the calendar system you're using. Gwyddons follow the flow of the astrological Tides. Beltaine for us this year is Friday, May 4th (interestingly with the Hare Moon on Monday). 8O

Celebrate when your spirit tells you it's time. :)

It all depends. Some like to celebrate on the 1st. If its during the week some can only do it on the weekend. I've also heard the 7th was another day to celebrate. So pick one or all! Its beltane after all and Pagans love celebrating!

In my tradition we celebrate it somewhere around April 30 - May 1. But from what I've heard/read alot of the celebrations 'way back when' were more than one day. Some even lasted a week. I hope this helps.
