Parade, 1939
Ukrainians in Cleveland held a parade in 1939 on the day the Ukrainian Cultural Garden opened. Many marchers dressed in traditional (or folk) apparel to honor their heritage.

The Ukrainian Museum-Archives has a large collection of folk clothing. The museum also has an exhibit on Ukrainian immigration to Cleveland on its second floor, featuring pictures, documents, and artifacts that tell the story of Cleveland's Ukrainian community.
