Visions of Harmony: Reliving Parade the Circle


The weather was a perfect 75 degrees, and the sun was shining down on the thousands of attendees on Wade Oval at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s  Parade the Circle last Saturday, June 8.

The theme this year was “Visions of Harmony” and people came in costume and participated in the parade, while others sat on the grass to cheer on the Hildebrandt Artist Collective  Inlet Dance Theatre and other participants as they opened the parade.

Then, lead artist Héctor Castellanos Lara, and Samba da Cidade, Cleveland drummer and percussionist Dylan Moffitt closed the parade in a 22-foot-long canoe with a Mayan culture theme.

Cleveland Museum of Art  photographer and technical imaging specialist David Brichford documented the entire day, while Aerial Agents caught the bird’s eye view with drones.
