County fairs always seem to bring out the best in people. That tradition still holds true at the Cuyahoga County Fair held every August. The fact that the fair has been held every year for the past 115 years speaks volumes about its tradition and popularity. Check out the farm animals in competition but don't forget to treat yourself to the fried cheese and other tasty snacks. More than twenty midway rides, 100 food vendors, country music and a demolition derby all make this a must-attend festival!
River City Billiards proudly offers a little something for everyone. You'll be immediately struck by the venue's charm and class the minute you walk in. And billiards aren't the only game here, as plenty of video games as well as a fully-stocked bar are also available for you to enjoy.
There is no doubt about the fact that the people of Cleveland love their beer. Get a fascinating look at how beer is made by touring the Great Lakes Brewing Company. This facility has the distinction of being Cleveland’s oldest microbrewery. One of the more popular products of the brewery is Dortmunder Gold amber ale as well as Eliot Ness Porter and Burning River Ale. The tour is free and happens every hour on the hour on Fridays from 5pm to 9pm and on Saturdays from 1pm to 9pm.
Artistic expression comes in many forms at Cleveland's Museum of Contemporary Art. For example, you can take in a visually captivating display of life-sized porcelain pigs facing a lectern or the sharp social commentary that is put forth by an exhibit that features various television monitors repeating nonsense syllables over and over again. Established in 1968, this museum features no permanent collections as to constantly attract (and challenge) art lovers to return periodically to see their impressive rotating exhibits.
