CLEVELAND, Ohio – If you’re on Cleveland’s east side on Sunday and aren’t attending One World Day, it might be best to avoid the area altogether.

The free annual public festival will result in a traffic delay on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and East Boulevard from 7 a.m. to midnight.

One World Day, a festival celebrating Cleveland’s cultural heritage and diversity, will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Rockefeller Park at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens.

In addition to the festival being held along the streets, the One World Day Flag Parade will march down Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at noon.

There is no festival parking available along these streets. Festivalgoers can park for free in two main parking lots on either side of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens: Metroparks Parking at 8701 Lakeshore Lot to the north and the VA Hospital Employee Parking Garage at 1606 E. 105th St. to the south.

Buses are available from the VA employee parking lot to the Chinese Cultural Garden, the south entrance of the garden, and along East Boulevard. They depart at 9:40 a.m. and run until 6:30 p.m.

There will also be streetcars available to help visitors cross Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
