The Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation is excited to launch the new Sunday schedule for the World On Stage concert series at the Centennial Peace Plaza, and we’re kicking it off with a special Flag Day Celebration on Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. 🇺🇸 Flag Day Celebration – June 14 This free event commemorates the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777, by the Second Continental Congress. It’s a heartfelt celebration of community, heritage, and unity, featuring patriotic presentations and multicultural performances from local groups that reflect the diverse cultures of Northeast Ohio. Performing groups include: * The Singing Angels – Youth vocal ensemble bringing patriotic and traditional songs * Murphy Irish Dance Troupe – Dynamic Irish dance showcasing centuries of cultural tradition * No Strangers Here – Community group celebrating heritage and inclusivity through performance Food will be available on-site, making this a perfect family outing.

The World On Stage series has moved from weekday evenings to Sunday afternoons at 1:00 PM to make it easier for families to attend. This change builds on the massive success of One World Day, which drew over 40,000 visitors last year and is held annually in late August at the Gardens. A recent marketing survey by Opinions LTD, supported by The Cleveland Foundation, confirmed strong community preference for live performances in the Gardens. New Amenities at the Plaza This year, the Plaza features upgraded infrastructure for a better visitor experience: * Permanent restrooms installed near the Plaza * A new public park developed by the City of Cleveland * 14 new parking spaces on St. Casimir Way, directly across from the Plaza (including a handicapped-accessible spot) ________________________________ Bring your family, bring a chair or blanket, and join us for the first Sunday of World On Stage.
