Downtown Cleveland invites you to celebrate the magic of winter with a series of festive events and happenings across the city center!

Brite Winter
Winter is about to get an upgrade because, on February 24, we're coming out to play!
A typical February evening on the West Bank of the Flats is pretty quiet. Not so during Brite Winter. The non-profit festival brings together people of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds, allowing them to discover new music and art and enjoy their community. Spanning fifteen years, three locations, tens of thousands of guests, hundreds of bands and artists, and temperatures as low as 8 and as high as 69 degrees—Brite Winter has always been a festival created with the community, not just for it.
