Parade the Circle is a CMA community arts program, open to participation for those of all ages, all skill levels, and all abilities. Families, friends, neighbors, community groups, churches, artists, performers—everyone is welcome to express their creativity, show their talent, and celebrate the arts. Every year, unique and magnificent parade designs delight participants and attendees alike.
Watching the Parade is free for all.
This year’s theme, “Momentum,” is inspired by the special exhibition American Printed Silks, 1927–1947, the lived experience of acclaimed lead artist Héctor Castellanos-Lara, and the legacy and evolution of our creative community. Those interested in participating are highly encouraged to view the exhibition.
All those performing in the parade must adhere to the event guidelines.
