The Kurent Jump marks the awakening of the Kurents for Cleveland Kurentovanje festival! The Kurent Jump is traditionally the first time that the Kurents appear in public, with their bells loudly ringing as they dance around a bonfire, initiating the Kurents’ mission of chasing away winter to make way for spring.

The 12th Annual Cleveland Kurentovanje Festival and Parade on Saturday, February 10, 2024! They will also have programing earlier throughout the week.

Join them on Saturday, February 10th from 10am-6pm for the annual Valentine's Market at Lake Affect Studios for a day an array of unique and handmade gifts from resident artists and artisans of the Cleveland Bazaar!

Every February, thousands of undie runners in cities across the U.S. come together, whether it be in-person or virtually, to support those affected by NF, a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. This year, they are on a mission to raise awareness and fund critical NF research while running in undies! With your help, Cupid's Undie Run can help improve treatments, improve care, and improve lives for those living with NF.

Cupid’s Undie Run will kick off with drinking and dancing, then jogging it out with a mile(ish) run and end it all with an epic dance party!

Dark Wave Dance Cave returns to The Winchester Music Tavern on Saturday, February 17th for LOVECATS - our Cure-themed Valentines night! Special guest DJ Robert Stiff will be spinning nothing…
