Mark your calendars for the 2019 Parade and Festival...
Celebrating Culture, Preserving History
A parade celebration of Puerto Rican arts and culture
has been observed by Cleveland's Puerto Ricans each summer since the late 60s. Its purpose has been to bring together the city's residents and to educate the community about the rich Puerto Rican culture. This year we celebrate the 51st Annual Parade and call on all artists, musicians, residents, organizations, and businesses to join in this year's festivities. |

The Puerto Rican Parade of Greater Cleveland carries a strong history of cultural awareness, pride, and education, led by a resilient community who's love for their homeland, spirit of freedom, justice, and unity have never wavered. After 50 years, when the Parade's founders first celebrated their Puerto Rican heritage in the City of Cleveland, we proudly continue this legacy and welcome all groups interested in participating in the 51st Annual celebration to form contingents of walkers , floats, or vehicles and submit a participant application form so that all can share in the celebration of our culture and heritage. This is an opportunity for organizations and groups to act in solidarity and in showing of a unified body while celebrating our community’s achievements and contributions to the Greater Cleveland area.
We are looking forward to your participation in the 51st Annual Puerto Rican Parade of Greater Cleveland.
