Cleveland Pride

Walk

Cleveland Pride’s parade route goes north on West 3rd Street, east on West Lakeside Avenue, then north on E. 9th to Voinovich Bicentennial Park (North Coast Harbor, behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum).

Individual walkers need not register.

Register Your Group
To register your group, organization, business, school or float and be listed in our program book, please sign-up by May 31. Registering after June 1 is okay but we can’t guarantee you’ll get in the printed Pride program.

Make a Pledge
To join in on the walk, pledge along with friends or sign up your group marching or float application. Help us make this the Best Pride Parade Cleveland has ever had.

Watch
If you are not able to join the parade this year but want to be a spectator, prime viewing areas include the corner of E. 9th and Lakeside.

Planning Ideas
Best floats win great trophies!!!

Use this year’s theme with decorated floats, International flags, marching bands, antique cars, large rainbow flags, bicycles, motorcycles, unicycles, college groups, trade/professional groups, skaters, bladers, streamers, giant paper maché puppets, sports fans, religious groups, costumes, organization banners, bubbles, noisemakers (drums, bells) and more!!!

Notes:
To be included in the GPC Pride Guide, we must have your registration by May 1st.

Call the Parade Hotline at 216.226.0004 for creative/decorative questions or logistical questions.

Because the parade ends near Burke Lakefront Airport, balloons (helium or not) cannot be used.

Good Taste Policy:
Please use discretion in decorating, keeping in mind the spirit of our family event.
