World Labyrinth Day (WLD) is an annual event sponsored by The Labyrinth Society (TLS). Every year on the first Saturday in May thousands of people around the world participate in this moving meditation for world peace.
They encourage us to join people around the world in this moving meditation for world peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience! We will be offering a local, temporary labyrinth to walk in 2025 in collaboration with the annual Toledo Plant Exchange. (For more information on Toledo Plant Exchange, visit their Facebook page)
Date: World Labyrinth Day, Saturday, May 3rd, 2025
Lucas County Location: Lucas County Fair Grounds, 1406 Key Street, Maumee, Ohio, 43537. (Use the main gate entrance. The plant exchange and informational booths will be inside the green Arts & Crafts Building. Weather permitting, the temporary labyrinth will be outside of the building).
Time: the labyrinth will be in place from 8:30 – 11:00am. Specific times for the Toledo Plant Exchange (see image below)
- 8:30 – 10:00am Plant Drop Off
- 9:00 – 9:50am Informational Booths (One of the informational booths/table will be about WLD)
- 10:00 – 11:00am Plant Distribution (event may end early if all plants are gone)
The Plant Exchange will be complete that morning so if anyone is interested in walking a labyrinth at 1:00pm as part of the WLD tradition, we recommend a beautiful, permanent labyrinth, just across the Maumee River at the Norma Stark Memory Garden and Labyrinth in Perrysburg, Ohio.
