Your festival event guide for the greater Cleveland Area, including Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina and Portage Counties.

Otherwise, for other areas of the state or all of Ohio, please refer back to the Ohio Festival Schedule.
Festivals listed here include music festivals, art festivals, food festivals, town festivals, church festivals, cultural festivals and more, but they do not include craft shows, machinery shows, bazaars, county fairs and some other events that can be found on the Fairs, Shows, Expos, Bazaars Page.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
While I am doing my best to update festival postponement dates, cancellations or note alternative versions, some festivals listed as going on may have been canceled or changed without my knowledge.
Always check festival information before attending as things are constantly changing and I know what it’s like to arrive at a festival location and find nothing.
Stay strong, be safe and let’s festival on together!
