Sat 6/18 @ noon
Once again, Kamm’s Corners in the Westpark neighborhood hosts its biggest faily festival of the year, the Hooley.
It features two stages of performers — a main stage and a family stage — with the festival kickoff taking place on the main stage at noon (expect speeches from local officials!), followed by the drum & pipe bands from both the Cleveland Firefighters and Cleveland Police. Performances by singer/songwriter/guitarist Taylor Lamborn, bluesman Wallace Coleman, the West Side Irish Pipes & Drums, Window Dogs and swamp rockers Cats on Holiday round out the day. The family stage gives a whole bunch of Irish dance schools the chance to shine, along with line dancers, hip hop dancers and a karate school.
The festival also features an array of food vendors, local businesses and artisans. It takes place on Lorain Avenue from Rocky River drive to West 165th Street. There’s no admission fee.
