Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival

The Nineteenth Annual Tremont Arts and Cultural Festival returns to Lincoln Park on September 16 - 17, 2017. The mission of the Festival is to celebrate the cultural and artistic diversity of Tremont and Greater Cleveland by encouraging the artistic and cultural endeavors of its visual and performing artists.

The weekend Festival is comprised of five categories or program areas which include: Children's-hands-on arts, historical, and educational projects; Community-area non-profit organizations presenting material about their mission and services; Cultural-food sales by Tremont churches, other non-profit organizations, and Tremont restaurants reflecting the ethnic diversity of the neighborhood; and sales of paintings, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and photographs created by Tremont and Northeast Ohio artists; and Tremont Farmers' Market vendors.

Artists who are accepted into the Festival through the jurying process (deadline for application - June 16, 2017) are eligible for consideration by the jurors for the Festival's top three prizes.

The Festival will also have music and dance performances both Saturday and Sunday on the main stage located in the Beer & Wine Garden near West 14th Street and Howard Avenue as well as the Let's Dance Stage of international cultural dance performances in the Children's & Youth Village.

Admission to the Festival is free. The Festival is presented by Merrick House and co-presented by Tremont West Development Corp. and Cleveland Ward 3 Councilman Kerry McCormack.
