The Rock Hall Community Festival Series sponsored by KeyBank.
Commitment to the greater Cleveland community is essential to the Museum. The Museum’s Community Festivals are designed to offer opportunities for Cleveland’s diverse ethnic communities to become acquainted with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the range of music styles and cultures it celebrates. Each festival offers free entertainment from national and local artists, and activities for the entire family. These festival days are among the Museum’s most successful events, often with record-setting crowds. The community festivals are organized around the specific themes and dates listed below.
All festivals are FREE and open to the public. Paid admission is necessary to tour the Museum unless otherwise noted.
