Summer is at full throttle
Look up, look out, everywhere you look, the town is going ballistic. The Goodtime III is brining back the Roar on the Shore rock & roll cruises on Lake Erie, and they’ve booked a couple of cool Cleveland artists, Chayla Hope and Wave Rowanne. Holden Arboretum is offering a tour with a horticulturist to learn what plants butterflies need to help protect the environment.
A perennial favorite among the cognoscenti, the Lakewood Arts Festival takes over Detroit Avenue, while GlamGore commits Seven Deadly Sins, and Vintage Ohio celebrates the wines of our region, while Convergence-Continuum opens a new show about nerdy teens and an abusive teacher. And CoolCleveland travel writer Claudia Taller explores Little Italy on foot.
Enjoy the Slovenian Zabava! party in the St. Clair neighborhood, stumble on something cool at the Beachland Flea, revel in the fun at the Puerto Rican Fest, indulge in funnel cakes and corn dogs (and so much more) at the Cuyahoga County Fair. And we’re celebrating the news that the anti-gerrymandering issue gathered almost twice the signatures necessary, and has met the qualifications to be on the ballot in November. Time to blow a gasket and bring fair elections back to Ohio.
