Fresh Fest Cleveland is Every Second Saturday in September.

Our Mission

Founded by Environmental Health Watch, Rid-All Green Partnership, and Brittany's Record Shop, Fresh Fest Cleveland celebrates the intersection of arts, urban agriculture, hip-hop heritage, and culinary excellence. Through free, multigenerational programming, we connect local businesses, artists, and culinary creators while advancing food access, health, and wellness in Cleveland's Kinsman neighborhood.

Our Location

Fresh Fest Cleveland takes place at Rid-All Farm and Otter Park within Cleveland's Urban Agriculture Innovation Zone. Located in the Kinsman neighborhood, the 26.5-acre campus represents the transformation of previously vacant land into a hub for urban agriculture, environmental education, and neighborhood engagement.

Our Programming

Celebrating eight years in 2027, Fresh Fest Cleveland brings thousands of attendees together for a free, full-day festival featuring live hip-hop performances, visual art and installations, local vendors, food trucks, culinary experiences, the Central Kinsman Wellness Collective Farmers Market, health and wellness activities, hands-on workshops, and family-friendly programming. The festival creates opportunities for local entrepreneurs, artists, and culinary creators to showcase their work while connecting attendees with resources that support healthier living and economic opportunity.
