Cleveland and spring break? Not the obvious duo — but hear us out. We’ve got award-winning eats, festivals attracting thousands of people and gardens blooming with both wildflowers and beer. So why fight for a spot on a crowded beach when you can go all in on all out right here? The Land is ready and waiting to be your unexpected MVP of spring break.
Nightlife
Downtown Cleveland doesn’t just go out — it goes all out. Hit up The Ivy or Lost Social Club for live DJs, dangerously good cocktails and dizzying colorful lights. Over in The Flats, the East Bank is a nightlife hotspot, whether enjoying the 70s at Good Night John Boy, singing karaoke at Punch Bowl Social or embracing your inner cowboy at Welcome to the Farm. No matter your vibe, The Land is ready to keep the party going (and your morning-after regrets plentiful).
Get Outdoors
Suns out, buns out — hotdog buns, that is. Baseball season is here, and Bill Nye the Science Guy, has predicted the Guardians to win 2025’s World Series. So grab your friends and head to the ballpark for Sugardale Dollar Dog nights and $2 Pregame specials, presented by Miller Lite.
Need to walk off those six hot dogs? The Land has plenty of parks and trails blooming with fresh spring vibes and zero judgment for your food choices. And if you're on a mission to find even more flowers (or just need a solid Instagram post), click here to discover the best spring blooms in The Land.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
When spring rolls around, it already feels like the year should be over. Shake off the blahs with a shopping spree: score some one-of-a-kind finds at our vintage stores, grab some uniquely Cleveland items and then hit up Crocker Park for a bit of everything. It’s the perfect recipe for a good mood or at least some new stuff to distract you.
Festival Frenzy
Cleveland has an outdoor music festival in winter, so it should be no surprise there’s a packed lineup of festivals in spring. Catch the 49th Annual Cleveland International Film Festival for a cinematic binge, or celebrate Dyngus Day with polka, pierogies and plenty of beer. Feast on pho and sushi at the Cleveland Asian Festival, then chow down on award-winning ribs at Berea’s Rib Cook-Off. Finally, groove into summer at Reggae Fest with two days of live music and food trucks.
Good Eats
One rule for life: never come to Cleveland on an empty stomach. From mouthwatering recommendations by award-winning chefs to the city’s most iconic eats, your drunken or hungover cravings are taken care of. Got out of the bar late? We’ve got your back with a list of late-night eats. And don’t worry, if you’ve got dietary restrictions, Cleveland’s got a plate for you, too.
Live & Loud
Did you even come to The Land if you didn’t see a live show? This spring, catch the Outlaw Music Festival (with Willie Nelson and Nathaniel Rateliffe), Halsey and Pierce the Veil at Blossom Music Center. You can also see Teddy Swims at Jacobs Pavilion or AC/DC at Huntington Bank Field. For a complete list of spring concerts, click here.
Treat Yo’ Self
Sometimes, you need a break from the fun to just chill. Luckily, there are a growing number of yoga studios, spas and meditation spots in Cleveland that can help you unwind. Whether you want to stretch, sweat or just find your zen, click here for some of the top places in The Land to relax and recharge.
