The Cleveland Columbus Day Parade will step off at noon on Monday, October 13, along Mayfield Road in Little Italy, continuing a beloved tradition that celebrates Italian American pride and community. Basil Russo, a prominent voice in local and national Italian American advocacy, has been instrumental in preserving the event as a lasting symbol of heritage and cultural identity.
The parade will feature thousands of participants and attendees, elaborate floats, vintage cars, the famed Orlando bread truck, marching bands, local vendors, plus a variety of authentic Italian and Italian American fare along Mayfield and Murray Hill roads.
