Two of Lincoln's most popular events are held each year in May. The Feats of Clay, a renowned national art competition, where artists from across the nation converge in Lincoln to display their works of art and provide craft demonstrations. Also during the month, the Gladding McBean clay factory offers tours through its facilities.
The Holy Ghost Festival, a week-long celebration, is also held in May and celebrates Lincoln's Portuguese heritage. A parade, a carnival featuring traditional Portuguese customs and foods, and the crowning of a queen highlight the festival.
The Lincoln Lion's Club sponsors a community Easter Egg Hunt at Easter time, and the Lincoln Volunteer Center hosts the Tour de Lincoln bike ride on the Saturday before Mother's Day.
