The East Side / West Side Challenge

The 2019 East Side / West Side Challenge

Be A Tourist in Your Hometown Weekend

There’s a whole lot of pride in our sides, but there’s even more in our city. Share it and show outsiders what they’re missing. Challenge them to go somewhere new and try something different March 22-24. And while you’re at it, invite them to #VisitMeInCLE.

How Does it Work?

Pretty Simple

  • 1. Start at a Hub

    Go to a hub in neighborhood for which you’d like to check out. While there, pick up an East Side / West Side Challenge Book.

  • 2. Explore

    Start exploring the neighborhood. Try a new food, go to a concert, sip a different style of beer and check out a slew of sports, cultural, outdoor and/or historical attractions along the way. Track your progress in the East Side / West Side Challenge Book.

  • 3. Show Off + Get Swag

    Head back to a hub, show-off your East Side / West Side Challenge Book activities and redeem prizes!
