STRONGSVILLE, OH — The city's annual Homecoming celebration will be held July 25-28. Festivities will begin with a parade on July 25 and conclude with a fireworks display at the Strongsville Commons.

Entertainment will continue throughout the Homecoming, with the Strongsville City Schools Summer set to play at 5 p.m. on Thursday, followed by Pop Culture at 7 p.m. Studio 52 will play at 5 p.m. on Friday and will be followed, at 7 p.m., by The Caliber Band.

Saturday is Kids Day at Homecoming, with a balloon twister and other entertainers from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Strongsville Dance Company will also perform at 1 p.m., Caliber Dance will go on at 2 p.m., The Magic of Rick Smith start at 4 p.m. and Strongsville Cheerleading goes on at 5 p.m. The Diamond Project will headline Saturday's line-up and will perform at 7 p.m.

A 50/50 raffle will be held after the entertainment, the city said on its website.
