I know what you’re thinking. University Circle is the cultural center of Cleveland. It’s home to the Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Botanical Garden and Cleveland Museum of Natural History and more, but can they party? I mean really party, not just wine and cheese and chamber music

Wade Oval Wednesdays answer that question with an unequivocal YES.

Grab a blanket or lawn chair and park yourself in Wade Oval – the green space between Cleveland’s greatest cultural assets – from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays throughout the summer for live music, local grub, craft beer, wine and fun activities for the kids.

Schedule

The 2024 WOW! Wade Oval Wednesdays lineup features a mix of crowd-pleasing favorites and amazing new talent representing multiple musical genres. Opening acts featuring up-and-coming local talent and intermission acts will accompany many shows.
