Parade the Circle 2026
Free All -Day Arts Festival in University Circle
June 13 from 10:00am - 3:00pm
Join The Music Settlement as we celebrate the annual Parade the Circle, presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Parade the Circle, which was founded by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1990 with a small number of artists, has since grown to become a treasured large-scale event, drawing crowds in the tens of thousands every June. Every year, unique and magnificent parade designs delight participants and attendees alike. Watching the parade is free for all.
The Music Settlement will be participating in Circle Village, located on Wade Oval, surrounded by other local organizations, food trucks, and hand-on activities. Come visit our tent to try an instrument and learn more about music instruction, early childhood programs, music therapy, and summer camps for all ages!
This event is free and open to the public.
