LET'S TURN INDUCTION WEEK UP TO 11
We're getting the Induction party started with Celebration Day, Powered by PNC Bank. We'll have killer local music all day long, plenty of family activities, and a festival village with local vendors and community partners.
The headlining performance will come from Mourning [A] BLKstar, the winners of the 2021 Cleveland Arts Prize: Emerging Artist Award. And we'll bring it home with a jaw-dropping fireworks show set to songs from the 2021 Inductees.
Continuing to connect rock & roll and Inductees with Cleveland, and in partnership with Destination Cleveland and Radio One, fans can join a community line dance on the plaza to Kraftwerk’s song “Trans-Europe Express.” The song highlights how music transcends race, a concept that started in Cleveland with DJ Alan Freed, and to acknowledge a deeply rooted block party / family reunion tradition that was started by the Cleveland Black community back in the 80’s and continues through today.
Everything outside is free for everyone (another shout out to PNC Bank!). Our Ohio Residents are also able to come inside the Museum to tour the brand new 2021 Inductee Exhibit...for free. That's right. Free.
