Since 2001, folks from all over the Great Lakes region have come together to remember the 1969 burning of the Cuyahoga River and celebrate the renewed sense of eco-consciousness the infamous fire sparked. Intended to raise awareness of environmental issues affecting the Great Lakes region and Cuyahoga River ecosystem, the annual Burning River Fest features educational exhibits from area environmental groups, fresh food from local farms and eateries, live music, and a special appearance by Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Christmas Ale!
2012's Fest will feature:
- Over 25 bands and musicians on three stages bringing funk, blues, rock, and more to the shore
- Local environmental groups featuring interactive and educational displays for all ages, including Baldwin Wallace University's Instrument Petting Zoo and Whole Foods Market's "Art On Wheels" recycled art booth
- Fresh, all-natural local food and chef demonstrations, plus handcrafted beer by Great Lakes Brewing Company.
- A Corporate Boat Float featuring boats made from post-consumer recyclable materials
- The most spectacular nighttime views of Cleveland from a wonderful greenspace right in the heart of Cleveland’s industry
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 at the historic Coast Guard Station on Whiskey Island: help celebrate the “Spirit of Giving” and spark a new level of environmental awareness!
