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!
Sure, Cleveland is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, but don't let that fact lead you to think that the city is all about nostalgia when it comes to their rock and roll. The Beachland Ballroom is a special entertainment venue in Cleveland that takes great pride in presenting some of the newest and most cutting edge rock acts in the world. Their stage has welcomed so many different bands with such diverse styles and sounds but they all share one very essential characteristic–a love for music that rocks! Make sure to sign up for their mailing list on their website to be the first to know about upcoming shows and other promotions.
Don't let the exterior of Cleveland's Duck Island intimidate you. Sure, the building may seem a bit grandiose and intimidating from the outside, but once you find your way in and get comfortable, you'll find that the nightlife venue seems to hark back to a classier era when the simple things like sitting close to your partner, having a quiet conversation and enjoying a well-made cocktail were things that were all worth celebrating. Happily, at Duck Island, they still are.
