One World Day celebrates the many cultures that call Northeast Ohio home. This free event, hosted by the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation since 1946, is filled with opportunities for individuals and families to learn more about who we are.
The day begins with a Naturalization Ceremony for new U.S. citizens and a Parade of Flags, followed by music and dance from around the world and authentic ethnic food throughout the Gardens.
