The Cleveland Museum of Art hosted its late-spring bonanza on Saturday, when Parade the Circle streamed through the University Circle neighborhood and landed at Wade Oval.

It's not your average parade: Larger-than-life creatures stepped down the street, and detailed, colorful costumes transformed people into birds, dragons and other characters.

This year's parade theme was "Visions of Harmony," and lead artist Héctor Castellanos Lara showcased a magical interpretation of the concept of balance in the day's events.
