Parade the Circle, which began as a community-outreach experiment by the art museum in 1990 to mark its 75th anniversary, has grown to become one of Cleveland’s biggest annual events. For more than a quarter of a century, Parade the Circle has signaled the arrival of summer in Northeast Ohio. International and national guest artists joined Greater Cleveland artists, families, schools, and community groups in a spectacular display of bright costumes, giant puppets, stilt-dancers, handmade masks, and colorful floats.
