Ignite Your Creative Spark with IngenuityFest This September

Three Days. Four Floors. Hundreds of Artists. IngenuityFest has been the capstone of Cleveland summers for more than two decades. The festival will take place over the weekend of September 25–27 inside an industrial building located at 5401 Hamilton Avenue, Cleveland. Only, it won’t feel like you’re in any old industrial building. Once you cross the threshold of IngenuityFest, you’ll be transported to a surreal alternate universe of “America Dreams,” the theme for this year’s festival.

What does America dream about? At IngenuityFest 2026, each featured work presents its own compelling response to this question, revealing a rich spectrum of interpretations. Blending fantastical dreamscapes with hallmarks of American culture, the creatives behind IngenuityFest are transforming dreams into reality by curating every inch of the building to envelope you in imagination. A highlight of the event will be the Garden of Heroes exhibit. This exhibit will display artwork from artists of varying mediums, depicting historical American icons that significantly contributed to the betterment of humanity. Celebrate the diverse voices that have made their mark on the United States with IngenuityFest 2026.

Don’t just witness the art, become a part of it! IngenuityFest invites guests to jump in, get hands-on, and explore a world of interactive experiences. From immersive art and life-size games, to live music and delicious food, there’s something new to discover at every turn. You never know what you’ll find at IngenuityFest.

Ticket prices start at $20 for a day pass, $30 for a weekend pass, and kids 12 & under are free.
