Heights Music Hop

08/31/2026

How is everyone feeling after such a magical weekend?!

We are still riding the high from three incredible days of live music, art, and community across Cleveland Heights! From kicking off in Cedar Fairmount to the energy in Noble and Cedar Lee, all the way to closing out with street vendors and the silent movies on Coventry Village. This weekend showed what makes our neighborhood so special.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN:

- The Musicians & Bands: Thank you for sharing your incredible talent across all 3 days and 4 districts!

- The Venues: Huge thanks to all of our local businesses for opening your doors and hosting the music.

- The Volunteers: We could not have pulled this off without our amazing volunteer crew running info tables, managing setups, and keeping everything moving!

- Our Sponsors: A massive thank you to our 8 community sponsors!

- The Community: Thank you to everyone who showed up, danced, hopped between districts, and supported local businesses!

Take a look at our photos to re-live the weekend with a few highlights from each district!
