Back in the 90s, Tremont was one of pioneering arts neighborhoods in Cleveland, with the Tremont Art Walk showcasing its many galleries. That’s been rebranded as Walkabout Tremont, as there are many fewer galleries and many more restaurants and bars, although it’s still home to artists.
And it’s still home to the annual Tremont Arts and Cultural Festival, now in its 26th year, taking place in the neighborhood’s beautiful, spacious Lincoln Park. Its paths are divided into five “villages”: a Children’s Village where kids can engage in hands-on projects and activities; the Community Village, featuring area nonprofits and neighborhood groups and independent local vendors; the Cultural Village with food from Tremont and Greater Cleveland restaurants and fair trade merchants and non-profits; the Food Court with a mix of local food trucks and booth; and the highlight: the Artists’ Village, with tons of local and regional artists in an array of mediums.
The event also features performances by musicians, dancers and local ensembles, and plenty of space to spread out, enjoy your food and plan your next stop. Admission is free.
