Broadway-Slavic Village is a cultural enclave on Cleveland’s southeast side which is home to cultural hotspots celebrating the Czech and Polish immigrants who arrived in the working-class neighborhood in the late 19th century.
Broadway-Slavic Village is dedicated to the promotion of old-world culture and traditions, whether through language, history, arts or education. Yet, Broadway-Slavic Village is not content to remain in the past. Far from it, considering large-scale redevelopment envisioning new apartments and retailers along with the renovation of beloved mainstays like the 138-year-old Columbia Building. In the meantime, neighborhood party centers host all manner of bodacious bashes, while classical concerts and facilities dedicated to the arts draw enthusiasts from across the region.
Walk streets packed with public art, once empty urban lots transformed into green spaces and neighborhoods filled with affordable, renovated housing. Broadway-Slavic Village is changing its tune.
