Hey Vegans in the CLE! The countdown to St. Patrick’s Day 2018 is on!

Join the Cleveland Vegan Society on SATURDAY!, March 17, 2018, for the 176th Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Parade, as we march as a group, creating awareness of veganism in Cleveland. Join us as we show our city and 500,000 + parade-goers that vegans are here and we are many!

Our parade unit will increase the visibility of vegans in CLE, intending to inspire the vegan-curious to seek more information, to motivate local businesses to become vegan-friendly, to increase awareness of Cleveland VegFest, to encourage current vegans to connect with Cleveland Vegan Society, and to reach out to other vegans in the community.

We will hold the Cleveland Vegan Society banner and carry individual signs with positive vegan messages.

We have already started planning, so be sure to save the date and make plans to march with our unit in the parade!

Invite all your vegan friends, even those who live out of town or out of state!

Details will be posted as we get closer to the day, but our uniform will be the Nonviolence United (NU) Vegan Compassion t-shirt or sweatshirt in black, along with your fun, wacky, sparkly, green, Irish parade accessories, like hats, wigs, face paint, and jewelry!

If you do not have the NU shirt or sweatshirt in black yet, get yours at the links below.

When ordering, keep in mind that these shirts or sweatshirts are our uniform and must be visible, so they will be worn OVER your warm layers, so please choose your size accordingly.

If you are unable to purchase the required uniform shirt, don’t worry! We want every vegan to be able to participate, so all you need to do is wear a plain, solid black t-shirt or plain, solid black sweatshirt on the *outside* of your layers, and we will have the NU Vegan Compassion shirt logo stickers for you to affix to the front.
