“Parade the Circle and Circle Village – 23 Years Strong!” 11am – 4pm.  Parade the Circle is one of Cleveland’s best events. No, really, we mean that.  For 23 years, Parade the Circle has dazzled adults and kids alike with a grassroots, lo-tech parade that’s creative to the max and filled with colorful floats, puppets, costumes, dancers and musicians.  Parade starts at noon and winds through Wade Oval. This year’s theme is Branches Become Roots / Cycles: Coming Back/Going Forward. Stay after the parade for plenty of hands-on activities in Circle Village. And, take a shuttle to the other side of town for Discover Gordon Square Arts District Day.  http://www.ClevelandArt.org

“Weapons of Mass Creation Fest.” For years there has been talk about bringing a music festival to Northeast Ohio. Now such a notion is slowly taking hold in the grassroots Weapons of Mass Creation Festival (WMC Fest), which enters its third year Fri 6/8 – Sun 6/10 in the Gordon Square Arts District in Cleveland. However, music is just one component, and a smaller one at that.  The WMC Fest, the creation of Go Media co-owner Jeff Finley, is billed as the premier art, design and music event of the Midwest with 20 speakers, 20 designers and nearly 30 bands enlightening the anticipated 1,000 or so attendees. Basically, the unique event brings together entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, students and fans to become inspired, to collaborate, network and celebrate the Rock Hall City.  Gordon Square Detroit and West 65^th Street. www.WMCFest.com
