Hessler Street Fair 5.17–5.18

The Hessler Street Fair, the yearly Cleveland fixture, is back this weekend. Located on Hessler Street, of course, in the University Circle neighborhood, festivities boast arts and crafts you can’t find anywhere else, local music acts and booths dedicated to various alternative lifestyles. Local, independent food vendors will  offer everything from ice cream and coffee to vegan faire to fresh, straight-from-the-farm items. New for the kids this year are pony rides (benefitting a pony rescue farm) at Harmony Park. It all starts at 11 and runs until dusk, both Sat. and Sun.
