Irish Cultural Garden at One World Day
August 25, 2024
Cleveland's Irish community was well-represented at One World Day in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens on August 25, 2024. One World Day has been the official event of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation since 1946.
The Irish marched in the Parade of Flags, performed on stages and hosted music, dance and activities in the Irish Garden. Due to the generosity of Ambassador Edward Crawford, the Gerry Quinn Irish Radio Show broadcast live from the Irish Garden on One World Day.
