Summer Arts Fest: Dance with Giants Recap

Posted on 06/12/22 by Nicole in Summer in the Circle

University Circle Inc. (UCI), partnered with The Cleveland Museum of Art, to kick off summer with Summer Arts Fest: Dance with Giants, an interactive arts festival on Wade Oval. This unique festival experience featured larger-than-life art sculptures and roaming costumed performers.

Roughly 1,000 guests showed up for a jam-packed day of fun in the sun (and a brief rain shower). UCI and our many activity partners hosted tents with free activities for the whole family, musical groups on the Kulas Community Stage, food vendors, and the beer & wine garden.

Musical groups throughout the day included Sugar Pie and Friends, The Baker’s Basement, and Jul Big Green. Food ranged from everything from smoothies to pizza to seafood – something for everyone to enjoy!

Parade the Circle will return to Wade Oval in 2023!
