The evening before May Day is the meaning of 'May Day Eve'. The term 'May Day' refers to the first day of the month of May. So 'May Day Eve' refers to the evening of April 30. But ancient cultures in fact saw one day as ending, and another day as beginning, with sunset. So the ancient celebrations of May 1st ran from the evening of the previous day to the actual evening of the first day of May.
