Best of Cleveland 2026

OCTOBER 15, 2026
GREAT LAKES SCIENCE CENTER

Cleveland Magazine and Cleveland Scene are bringing the Best of Cleveland Party back to the Great Lakes Science Center on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, for a night celebrating the people, places and businesses that make Cleveland one of a kind.

Experience the Best of Cleveland all in one place as more than 90 winners come together for a night filled with local food and drink samples, shopping, entertainment and more. Meet some of the people behind your favorite Cleveland businesses, discover new local favorites and celebrate the very best The Land has to offer.

And when you’re ready to hit the dance floor, Disco Inferno will take the stage for a live performance and DJ E-V will close out the night!

Come hungry, come ready to celebrate and see for yourself why this is one of Cleveland’s can’t-miss parties of the year.

Sellout is expected, so get your tickets now!
