Community Programs

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame seeks to build long-lasting relationships with Cleveland community organizations, be a place for open dialogue, and embrace the economic, racial, ethnic, and gender diversity of Cleveland through events on-site and throughout the city.  These partnerships include large Rock the Block community days, one of kind co-curated programs, discounted tickets programs, and so much more!

Select community programs are free and open to the public, although additional admission fees may be necessary to tour the Rock Hall.

Every year we invite the community to join us for FREE Rock the Block community days, presented by the John P Murphy Foundation.  These events are created in partnership with community members and community organizations to bring people together and engage, teach and inspire through the power of music, as well as celebrate the rich culture represented in Cleveland.  These include annual events such as Martin Luther King Day, Fam Jam, Juneteenth, Pride, Rock and Resilience and Hispanic Heritage Month.

Many of our live music shows throughout the summer are also free.  Be sure to regularly check out events calendar to see our upcoming events and programs!
