In addition to artists' booths, students from Cleveland Institute of Art will work on-site at the festival. There will be entertainment from students of School of Rock, a local music school, on Saturday.

"The collaborative aspect of reaching out to other institutions, like Cleveland Institute of Art and School of Rock, is different from last year," said George Kozmon, arts festival director. "We always like to bring something new to the table."

The festival runs 3–8PM Friday, with free admission. Tickets are $5 the rest of the weekend, 10AM–8PM Saturday and noon–5PM Sunday. Children 12 and under are free all weekend. Festival tickets are available online.
