    My friend had suggested we check this event out. Parking would've been pretty difficult but she had…read morea parking pass to one of the nearby garages. It was about a 5min walk to the festival. Tons of people! We were packed like sardines within just a few blocks of the street. Some of the restaurants were open but for the most part, people were standing around or getting food and leaving. I'm not huge on Italian food, but the marinara smelled so good! I got a meatball sub while my friend ordered an Italian sausage with one meatball. Delicious! It doesn't interest me to come back to the festival, but I'd come back to the neighborhood to try a restaurant. It's just too chaotic. And it seemed better to have cash. We had gotten food from Trattoria. They took credit card but discouraged cards since there would be an additional $2 fee. It's interesting to know the history of this neighborhood. It surrounds the Catholic Church. They were reciting the rosary as we we were there. Not a bad event to check out! Just didn't seem to have tons of seating for you to hang around.

    BRING SOME CASH!! I…read morethink anyone who goes to Cleveland should try out the Feast of Assumption if they're at the area. The feast happens every year during early August. Check out Corbo's stall. They take credit cards, and have a wide variety of food from spaghetti to cassata cakes. The other stalls range from mundane things like lemonade to frog legs or mussels. Drink options are surprisingly limited. There's a carnival area where all the drunk frat girls frequent, and the typical comfort food stall that sells cotton candy and caramelized apples. There's also a hole in the wall for gambling if you walk toward the carnival. But to me, the Feast of Assumption brings nothing new to the table since I've already been to Little Italy. Most food sold at the feast has a jacked up price. I paid $9 for a bowl of basic spaghetti and a meatball. If you're religious, then you'll be happy that money went to the church that sponsers this event. But if you care nothing for charity, then just go to these restaurants during a normal week for bigger portions. Parking is awful. Little Italy is blocked off, so forget about parking close by. I'm glad I stayed nearby. Prepare to fork over at least $10 for parking.

    I am so happy that Night Market is back this year. I really felt the void during its hiatus. The…read moreenergy itself of this event makes it worth trying. Wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for the experience. There are wall to wall vendors with a ton of people squeezing through the pathway. They have an area where live music is played. Food trucks are setup in this same area if you just need that. I say that because the restaurant vendors along the main walk more than satisfy any craving you could be having. There are stands with cocktails/beer and they even have a spiked bubble tea! Everything is really official. I will say bring cash. Some of the vendors take cards, and there are two ATMs that I counted, but they kept giving me error codes. It took multiple tries to get my actual cash. I'm not sure if this is the usual practice so beware. Parking was $10, but given the location free parking is definitely in walking distance. All in all a great time.

    Why am I just getting out to Night Market?…read more Tips: BRING CASH Besides having no cash and walking half a mile to the nearest ATM, last night was a BLAST. So many booths of great product, food, and booze. So much Cleveland pride in one market. The food was mostly asian inspired, with the ocassional bakery. I found some cool stickers and magnets at Kay Em Apparel. Drank several Market Garden Brewery Octoberfests, and danced along to quality bands and even some hula inspired tunes. Yes, of course it was busy, but what do you expect? It's a quality market and anyone who likes a good time would get out to this place, especially since it's only 1 night a month! There's only one Night Market event left in September, and you better believe I'll be there!

    I wanted to go to this last year (found out about this at a Yelp event).... and I missed it and had…read moreto wait a full year. It was worth the wait as this was an amazing night of humor, person positivity, and great talent. So, I feel like different days may have different feel. I was there on Saturday which was the gala. To start... Beachland is an interesting building... it gave me Grease High school dance vibes. I loved that the dancers mingled throughout the crowd, in fact one helped me get noticed to get a drink. So for me (a plus size lady), I am all for body positivity. I loved that there were women dancing who "looked like me". I also love that there was representation of multiple races, gender identities, sexual orientation, ethniticies, etc.... I feel like mostly everyone (I would hate to generalize) had someone they could identify with. This is why I love burlesque as a culture..... it includes everyone. My only complaint (and I dont think that they can do anything about it) is the chairs were super uncomfortable. Also another tip is to get there early. You will want a good seat.

I honestly can't believe I haven't reviewed this before. You can always count on the OBF to be a fun time. The OBF strives to show burlesque as the classic vibrant art form that it is and they do a great job curating all types of inclusive performers. If you've never experienced modern burlesque before, this is a great place to do it, because I guarantee it will be so much different than what you expect. The festival is typically at the Beachland Ballroom and the performers are always so cool! I love all the different types of performers you get to experience here, whether they are from Cleveland or beyond. You'll laugh, have an amazing time and be mesmerized by awesome talent!
