EVENT CANCELLED

Dear Patrons, Artists, Vendors, and Volunteers:

It is with regret that the Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival Operating Committee and Festival presenter, Tremont West Development Corp, announce that the 22nd Annual Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival, scheduled for September 19-20, 2020, will not be held this year due to the SARS-2 COVID-19 pandemic.

The Organizers of the Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival did not make this decision lightly, but with thoughtful care and concern. An event as large as the Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival would present health and safety risks to the artists, vendors, community and cultural groups, volunteers, and patrons that are the lifeblood of the Festival.

After extensive discussion and reflection, the Festival committee concluded with guidance from the City of Cleveland, the Ohio Department of Health and Governor DeWine, and the Centers for Disease Control, that given the current public health and safety guidelines the 2020 Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival must be cancelled.

In the spirit of highlighting our exhibiting juried artists – we will be offering an opportunity to view the artists and their social media handles/contact on our website. The Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival encourages you to take this opportunity to support the artists as you do at the Festival. Please watch social media and our website for further details.

The Festival committee is grateful to the visual and performing artists, community and cultural groups, vendors and volunteers that take part in the Festival. We are looking forward to the third weekend of September, 2021, when we can gather to celebrate the beauty of the arts, the joy of creativity and the spirit of community that is intrinsic to the Festival.

The Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival will welcome you to Cleveland’s Lincoln Park on Saturday and Sunday, September 18-19, 2021 for the 23rd Annual Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival – and until then, wishing you good health and safety throughout the year.
