It’s time to head outdoors as much as possible and enjoy Cleveland’s all-too-short summer to the max. With Memorial Day looming, the summer festival/events season is already kicking. off in earnest. It starts this weekend with the two-day Cleveland Asian Fest in AsiaTown, with its area of entertainment, vendors and especially foods, representing about 20 different Asian cultures.
We’re sharing the most recently updated version of our annual festivals guide, offering an endless array of things to do when the weather’s warm, whether you like food, wine, music, sports, art, theater, diverse cultures, celebrating Pride, pirates or local gardens, or enjoying county fairs. When the cold weather inevitably returns, you’ll regret sitting round at home.
