Cleveland Pop Culture

From Superman to SNL and everything in between.

Pop Culture in The Land

From Superman and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to blockbuster exhibits, concerts and filming locations, discover how Cleveland continues to shape pop culture.

Pop culture isn’t just something we consume in Cleveland — it’s something we create.

From the birthplace of Superman and the home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to blockbuster filming locations, legendary musicians, and moments that have shaped American culture, The Land has influenced pop culture for generations. Today, that legacy lives on through world-class museums, can’t-miss exhibits, a loaded slate of concerts saying "hello, Cleveland" all summer long, Broadway hits like "The Lion King" and "Death Becomes Her," and everyday celebrations of all things pop culture in CLE from Chef Boyardee to Drew Carey.

Whether you’re chasing iconic landmarks, celebrating your favorite fandom or discovering what’s making headlines next, there’s always something worth geeking out over in The Land.

Filmed in CLE: Our Hometown Hero Returns

James Gunn's "Superman" brought Kal-El to his true home.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Clevelander?!
 
Superman, the world’s first costumed comic book superhero and an enduring symbol of truth, justice and the American way, is recognizable by practically everyone around the world. But did you know that the last son of Krypton was actually born in Cleveland?
 
Writer Jerry Siegel and Artist Joe Shuster, themselves the sons of immigrants, came up with the idea for this enduring symbol of hope while living in the Glenville neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side. From his debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938 to this summer’s premiere of James Gunn’s “Superman”, filmed right on the streets of Clark Kent’s real hometown, Superman is a point of pride for Clevelanders everywhere.

Live from CLE, it's Saturday Night!

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and “Saturday Night Live” have teamed up for “SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of Music." The exhibit follows the show’s flow, from cold open to “Goodnights,” with immersive video, a virtual experience and a walkable Studio 8H recreation — no security badge needed. Fans can relive iconic performances from Blondie to Billie Eilish, see props and costumes, snap SNL-style photos and catch an exclusive 20-minute cut of Questlove’s new doc. Bonus: a guidebook with a foreword by Fred Armisen, because someone has to unpack the emotional depth of “More Cowbell.”
