Best of Cleveland 2026

OCTOBER 15, 2026
GREAT LAKES SCIENCE CENTER

Cleveland, you made this a night to remember!

Thank you to everyone who joined Cleveland Magazine and Cleveland Scene at the Great Lakes Science Center on October 15 for the 2026 Best of Cleveland Party!

With record sponsor support and more participating winners than ever before, this year’s celebration brought together the people, places and businesses that make Cleveland one of a kind. From local food and drink samples to shopping and discovering new favorites, the night was filled with the very best The Land has to offer.

Disco Inferno and DJ E-V kept the celebration going and the dance floor moving, making it a night to remember.

To our sponsors, participating winners, entertainment, guests and everyone who helped bring this event to life: thank you for making this year’s party so special.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you again in 2027! Stay tuned for next year’s event details.
