East Akron Labor Day Parade - Recap 2025

Message from EANDC CEO, Cheryl Stephens: Community of Opportunities

The board and staff of EANDC are deeply grateful to Parade Chair Judi Hill and Grand Marshal Clerk Tavia Galonski. Their leadership and commitment were essential to the success of the 50th Annual East Akron Labor Day Parade.

We also thank the thousands of people who came out to celebrate this long-standing tradition, of believing in community, peaceful interaction, and honoring the labor of generations of citizens in East Akron.

Thank you to every partner who stood with us to keep this tradition alive. The East Akron Labor Day Parade remains a symbol of collaboration and resilience, and a reminder that working together we can ensure Akron is truly a Community of Opportunities to build a better, stronger, and safer future.
