The longest-running eastside parade in Cleveland, the City of University Heights has proudly held its annual Memorial Day Parade since 1966 (with the exception of 2020 when it was canceled due to the pandemic).

In 2025, the parade will once again step off at 11 a.m. on Memorial Day, May 26, with a memorial ceremony immediately following. Community groups are invited to participate. This year’s theme is “Look Up!”

Route: The parade will step off at 11 a.m., on Silsby Road, between Ashurst and Canterbury roads as before, and terminate at Gearity Professional Development School. The ceremony will take place at 12:30 p.m. in the Gearity gym.
