What Makes This Cleveland Wine Festival Worth the Weekend
For 15 years, the Crocker Park Wine Festival has turned South Main Street into an open-air tasting room. Tents line the street, glasses come out, and the park-like setting of Crocker Park fills with people discovering something new. Here is what your ticket gets you into.
150+ Wines to Taste
Sample your way through local Ohio producers, national labels, and international pours. Craft beer and spirits are on the grounds too, so everyone in your group finds something they like.
Live Music Both Nights
Regional bands play through the evening on both Friday and Saturday, with music running until the festival closes at 10:00 PM.
Food From Area Restaurants
Local restaurants set up along Main Street. Ticket holders can also leave for a sit-down dinner at Crocker Park and return with their wristband before 9:30 p.m. each evening.
A Weekend That Gives Back
The festival benefits University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, supporting programs and services for children and families across Northeast Ohio.

Sip, Celebrate, and Support a Great Cause
The Crocker Park Wine Festival is presented by Market District and Westland Heating/Air Conditioning + Plumbing, and benefits University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.
Rainbow Babies & Children’s is one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals, caring for kids and families from across Northeast Ohio and beyond.
