Cleveland’s fastest growing, grassroots, arts-centric, eclectic, family friendly festival is back and better than ever!
More than 10,000 people are expected to spend the day on Waterloo seeing and making art, catching live performances, shopping an array of vendors, and noshing on local eats, as well as visiting the one-of-a-kind businesses that make this burgeoning district unique.
Some of the popular features of last year are returning, including public art installations and historical exhibits, children’s activities with custom installations, live music on multiple stages, performance art, poetry, and dance, as well as local artisans selling their wares. This year, look for even more interactive workshops and demos, more impromptu street performances, and a wider array of music, poetry and dance.
In addition, storytellers and performers will engage and entertain audiences of all ages. Visiting artists will let festival goers get hands-on with the art. For the alternative crowd, there will be the ever popular Rock ‘n’ Roll Flea Market at the Beachland Ballroom, plus collectibles and cutting edge artwork to be viewed and bought at on street vendor booths and all Waterloo galleries.
Clevelanders of all ages should come to the Waterloo Arts Fest prepared to see and do something new. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to take part in all that this exciting new arts and entertainment district has to offer.
A brief history…
What began as a small family event in the Beachland Ballroom parking lot in 2002 has quickly, yet organically, grown into a street-wide event along the main corridor of Waterloo Road. This burgeoning Arts and Entertainment District is home to an increasing number of like-minded small businesses and community members who, alongside Arts Collinwood, put the Waterloo Arts Fest together every year. The Arts Fest attracts a diverse and eclectic range of people: this year we expect 10,000 visitors of all ages to spend the day engaging in the Arts on Waterloo.
