Great Lakes Burning River Fest - July 24+25

July 24th 6-11pm
July 25th 12-5pm

The annual Cleveland Eco Event of the Summer is geared up for late July at the infamous Historic Coast Guard Station. The event and location are both stellar. So put on your flip flops and hop on your bike (limited parking, limited as heck!) and get your rears over to Whiskey Island and the Station. Some of the best views in Cleveland are from this vantage, plus there will be ice cream. How can you possibly resist?

Every summer, people from all over the Great Lakes region raise a pint at the Burning River Fest to salute the “watershed moment” that raised a new level of eco-consciousness—the 1969 burning of the Cuyahoga River. This year’s party will feature live music, fresh food from local farms and eateries, educational environmental exhibits and a special appearance by Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Christmas Ale!

Proceeds benefit the Burning River Foundation, a local non-profit organization that provides resources for the sustainable future of our waterways. Join us at Burning River Fest on July 24th and 25th at the historic Coast Guard Station on Whiskey Island.
Help celebrate the Spirit of Giving and spark a new level of environmental awareness.

OCBC will be parking bikes so you don't have to drive and walk all the way from Edgewater
