About this event
One World Day is northeast Ohio's largest cultural festival, drawing 35,000+ attendees in 2025 and expected to grow in 2026 — its 80th edition. The day-long event spans all the Cleveland Cultural Gardens including the Albanian Cultural Garden, which features a 7-foot bronze Mother Teresa statue by Albanian sculptor Kreshnik Xhiku. Programming includes a Parade of Flags, US Citizenship naturalization ceremony, and ethnic food, music, and dance from each garden. Cleveland's Albanian community has participated continuously since the Albanian garden was dedicated in 2012.
