[NEohioPAL] Top Ten (+4) Reasons for One World Day in Cleveland Cultural Gardens August 29, 2021

[Johnny Wu]

  	* August 29, 2021 is the 75th annual One World Day (OWD) in the 
Cleveland Cultural Gardens. OWD is the official event of the Cleveland 
Cultural Gardens since 1946, celebrating over 100 years of Peace Through 
Mutual Understanding. OWD is Historic, Continuous, Official, the one and 
only, imitated but never duplicated, Cleveland Cultural Gardens 
Federation event.  Though we had to cancel in 2020 because of Covid-19, 
this is considered our 75th annual event.

  	* Visitors have the opportunity to visit (eat, drink, learn about, be 
entertained in, etc.) the 30 plus Gardens - not just a few gardens or a 
small area.

  	* The Parade of Flags will feature dozens of nationalities, ethnic 
costumes and more. The true Diversity of Cleveland on display. It's like 
the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Ethnic communities that do not have a 
Cultural Garden have been actively invited to participate Expect to see 
units from the Indonesian, Dutch, Brazilian, Japanese, Scottish and 
other communities marching in the Parade of Flags along with 
representatives of the 30 or so communities that already have a Garden 
We are honored to have Chris Tanaka (Ch. 19 anchor) returning as MC.  
This year we will also have Danielle Wiggins (Ch. 3 morning anchor), 
Tracy Carloss (Ch. 5 weekend anchor) and Maia Belay (Ch. 8 reporter) 
serving as co-MCs.  That's the kind of respect and cooperation that One 
World Day generates.

  	* An inspiring and moving Naturalization Ceremony will welcome about 
25 new citizens from all over the world as a federal judge swears them 
in at 11 AM.

	* Passport to Peace. Attendees get a free Passport which they take to 
any/all gardens and participate in a free, fun activity in that garden 
to get their Passport stamped. For kids and adults of all ages.  Kids 
get a prize when they turn it in.

  	* Attendees can get a One World Day souvenir program Includes Garden 
info, maps, history and more - collector's edition, free.

  	* Variety of Ethnic food and drink. Gardens will have food from their 
culture or a food truck/vendor will be stationed there. This includes 
some new additions such as Egyptian street food from King Tut Food 
Truck.

  	* Variety of ethnic performances throughout the Gardens. Very diverse, 
something for everyone, unique settings.  2 exciting featured acts in 
the new Centennial Peace Plaza - the world-renown Singing Angels will 
perform at 3PM and bringing the day to a close will be the exciting 
Latin rhythms from Moises Borges and friends

  	* International Shopping and Resources. Visit the Market Place for 
shopping, food and cultural resources. Located on Martin Luther King 
Blvd, between the African American Garden, and Parkgate Dr., this year's 
vendors and exhibitors include a variety of non-profit organizations, 
food vendors, merchandise vendors, and community support groups.

  	* We are partnering with Spin to have scooters available during 75th 
Annual One World Day! Spin provides Cleveland with dockless 
scooter-share to get you where you need to go. At the 75th Annual One 
World Day, you can see as many of the beautiful gardens as possible, 
without breaking a sweat.

  	* One area of the Gardens will be dedicated to educational fun for 
children and adults - The Children's Village. Activities included Story 
Telling Tent - Learn about Cleveland's diverse culture through stories, 
Cleveland Orchestra Instrument Discovery, Cleveland Kids' Book Bank, 
Make upcycled bookmarks, Children's Lawn Games, Map of the World and 
more

World Day, wear these with pride and reconnecting with the world through 
a visual display! Limited edition t-shirts and caps at

	* The Cleveland Cultural Gardens are spread out over 254+ acres. We 
will follow all city, state and CDC guidelines for events. Hand 
sanitizers will be available throughout the gardens, signage will be 
also visible, keeping yourself and your family safe is very important, 
please also keep your social distancing and wash your hands often. The 
large footprint and outdoor venue along with appropriate behavior will 
make it a safe day for all.
