Introducing the People’s Flag of Cleveland

After months of community engagement, hundreds of design submissions, and thousands of votes, the moment has arrived—Cleveland’s new symbol is here: The People’s Flag of Cleveland!

This flag represents pride, unity, and our shared identity, bringing Clevelanders of all backgrounds together under a unifying symbol of our community. It honors our rich history, reflects our resilience, and looks ahead to a bright future.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation to all of the community members, volunteers, organizations, and local businesses who have helped champion this cause and bring us to this historic moment!
