English: independent composition of his own design, that depicts a village festival in all its raucous splendor. The maypole itself is just left of center, and round it circle the dancing villagers, their movements echoed and reversed by a second group placed directly in the foreground. Flanking the dancers are other kinds of celebrants. Those at the left are somewhat worse for wear: a man collapsing onto his partner's lap and two others relieving themselves, one directly in our line of vision. At the right is a larger group gathered around a cask, as pitchers of drink are handed around and a bagpiper entertains the company. Behind all this actvity stretches the village with scenes of daily life, fights and dancing alternate with almsgiving and strolling families.
This Dance Around the Maypole is unique in showing the couple at the far right (the woman with the white headdress and the man with the red cap) set in front of a bush rather than squashed into a tent. It is also one of the tallest versions, so that the top of the maypole is fully visible, and there is a band of sky above the trees at the left and right.

English: The subject of the kermis (or fair) in its various forms is one that Brueghel first took up in 1616, the same year that he changed the spelling of his name and began to distance himself from his late father. A picture cited by Ertz as on the Paris art market (Ertz E1226) is the first recorded version, and the present painting dates from just a year later, 1627. It is one of just three signed and dated versions of this subject and one of nine autograph versions altogether. Here as in so many of his paintings, Brueghel made various compositional changes. The present work was apparently the one known to Marlier from a photograph in the Witt Library. It appears to be the same in all visible details apart from the fact that the man at the extreme left is holding a spade rather than relieving himself. However, the spade was most likely added by a prudish owner and has since been removed.
The original inspiration for this complex work may date back to such prints as Barthel Beham's large and popular woodcut Peasant Holiday of 1534.
Almost all other versions show the tent at the right. The two exceptions are Ertz E1230a and E1231a., but in those the form of the foliage more closely resembles a pollarded tree rather than a bush.
