Celebrating 50 years of tradition & culture...
A golden past, a gleaming future.
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-at-large about the rich Puerto Rican culture. As we celebrate 50 years of history, we welcome the next organizers, Hispanic Police Officers' Association, and look forward to a gleaming future for this event. |
The Puerto Rican Parade of Greater Cleveland carries a strong history of cultural awareness, pride, unity, and education, led by a resilient community who's love for their homeland, spirit of freedom, and justice have never waivered. After 50 years, when the Parade's founders first celebrated their heritage in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, we proudly continue this legacy and welcome all groups interested in participating in the 50th Anniversary celebration to form contingents of walkers , floats, or vehicles and submit a participant application form so that all can lend their voices to celebrating our culture and heritage. This is an opportunity for organizations and groups to act in solidarity and speak with a unified voice while celebrating our community’s achievements and contributions to the Greater Cleveland area.
We are looking forward to your participation in the 50th Annual Puerto Rican Parade of Greater Cleveland.
