Drivers who rely on Babbitt Road to get through downtown Euclid need a new plan for Saturday, September 19: the stretch between Shore Center Drive and Triangle Park will be closed as Euclid STEAM Fest and the Euclid Art Walk take place nearby. The events will bring music, food vendors, and interactive experiences to downtown Euclid.
Event information places the day's programming in downtown Euclid and outlines activities associated with STEAM Fest and the Euclid Art Walk.
STEAM Fest runs from noon to 4 p.m., with event information describing hands-on activities and live performances. The Euclid Art Walk runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., overlapping with STEAM Fest from 2 to 4 p.m., as detailed by Cleveland Arts Events.
Triangle Park Sits at a Complicated Crossroads
The closure affects the downtown area around the festivals.
The Shore Cultural Centre is a 125,000-square-foot building. The building today is home to 36 entrepreneurs. The same city account also discusses the center.
Who's Behind the Art Walk
The Euclid Art Walk itself is organized by the Downtown Euclid Improvement Corporation, a non-profit Special Improvement District governed by commercial property and business owners that funds street cleanups, safety initiatives, and public district events, according to the Euclid Observer. The Euclid Observer also describes the Art Walk.
Other arts groups are participating. Public mural group Graffiti Heart is participating as well, per the Euclid Observer's account. Food vendors along the route will include Grippys Sauce Co., The Original Steaks and Hoagies Food Truck, Alex Bistro, and Heights Tropical Sno, while participating artists paid a $35 fee for 10-by-10-foot outdoor booth spaces, according to the Downtown Euclid Improvement Corporation.
For downtown Euclid drivers, the takeaway is straightforward: plan around Babbitt Road for the day and expect a busy event day in downtown Euclid.
