Join us September 27-29 at IngenuityLabs for IngenuityFest 2024: Era of Ascent as we spread our wings and Take Flight in celebration of our 20th anniversary season of programming and 100,000 sq. ft. expansion of IngenuityLabs, a permanent home for creativity and innovation in Cleveland! The weekend-long festival will feature a mix of hands-on activities for all ages; multiple stages filled with music and dance performances; and plenty of opportunities to interact with innovative and immersive exhibits that explore the human fascination with flight from scientific, artistic, and technological perspectives.
Ingenuity Cleveland was conceived as IngenuityFest - a multi-day, multi-venue event that would move among downtown locations, inviting Northeast Ohio residents and tourists to re-discover the city as alive and vibrant. IngenuityFest animated storefronts, abandoned alleys and interiors of buildings that had long been ignored with a cross-pollination of arts, technology, and entrepreneurship.
We have been surprising and delighting regional and national audiences for over 16 years! IngenuityFest includes immersive artwork (built collaboratively by the Ingeneers!); half a dozen stages featuring hundreds of musicians, dancers, poets, and performances of all types; maker and innovator exhibits; fine art; and so much more. All of this is displayed throughout the 300,000 square foot Hamilton Collaborative, which is broken up into Festival Villages.
