BOTTOM LINE : Interesting. Fun. Inspiring. Maybe not for everyone.PRO : MASSIVE.. There was a lot to see and do. Some very neat and very fun ideas came together to make it an interesting day out. I wouldve liked to see the night life! Truly a lot of coordination, effort, and love put this together. Good food trucks, also. Music was nice, too! Its nice to see the free thinkers of the city getting together. All minds are valuable.CON : As will all art, its not for everyone. Some will be turned off, but thats not really a con, just how it goes with these kinds of things.
They have a lot of activities here and it is a very artsy community!
Absolutely amazing experience at Ingenuity Fest this weekend! The amount of art, design, and thoughtful effort was simply stunning. This is a must-experience staple of the Cleveland landscape. Looking forward to more events this year!
Our family of 6 has been attending Ingenuity Fest for more than 10 years. While locations have changed, it seems to have found a winning more permanent site at the Hamilton Collective. And it works! Music, vendors, demos, and the work of participating groups is cutting edge and crowd-watching is superb. They do need to get a better comedy line-up but most shows are excellent. We are dedicated to Ingenuity and you should be there next year.
Such a fun event. I’ve attended two years in a row and will likely return next year. The interactive art is very cool
What an amazing festival!! This is a magical place full of art, music, antique items, paintings, clothing items and a whole bunch of weird and wonderful. We had so much fun walking around, experiencing some beautiful art and music. The vibe was incredible and it was a great crowd. Must go!!
This is an amazing group to be a part of. The Festival they have once a year is also really amazing. If you want to get involved in your community and in the Cleveland art scene starting here is your best option.
Such a great experience!The people Ive met here are beyond accepting.THERE IS A TWO STORY SWING!Music sounded great, and visuals where awesome.
Wow! Ingenuity fest was one of a kind. 10/10 would go again. Bands, vendors, and OH MY the art. Beautiful and captivating.
Always enjoy Ingenuity. Like many, I was skeptical of the new location, but the festival and the venue become a better match every year. Theres something for almost everyone if you take the time to explore it all.
Always a wonderful experience everyone there is so innovative and passionate about what they do.
I went for ingenuity fest dreamscapes and I loved seeing the bands, art, food trucks, etc. The event looked well put together and it was a very blended event. Would recommend checking this place out and seeing what else they do.
A great family oriented event. A combination of art, technology, music and much more. Truly a experience. I wish it happened more than once a year. 💖
Ingenuity Festival is one of the most innovative events in Cleveland where Clevelanders and others from beyond spend the weekend appreciating the arts, inventions, historical equipment, and wares from artisan designers. All walks (and some who dont) of life can be seen improving their met priorities to continue great creating until next years Ingenuity!I made new friends all throughout the weekend while networking and working throughout three warehouses, huge-scaled installments, and enjoyed music and comedy across multiple stages and open lofts!Google Maps provided the optimal bus routes, and GCRTA picked up the slack!
Pay the 5 dollars and enjoy the ride. It is oddity and intringue wrapped together with paint splattered all over. Paintings, instillation pieces, games, musicians and even comedy. You cant go wrong here but dont come if you are wanting normality for your night. Your heart will be in for a surprise.
There is only one word to describe this place......and they did a pretty great job with the name.
My first experience here and I loved it! So many awesome exhibits and the people were awesome. Cant wait til next year!!!!!
Allows for the imagination to grow. North coast burning man without violence
Ingenuity is the annual three-day festival at the Ingenuity lab in Cleveland. It showcases many different artists, musicians, and performers in the Cleveland and greater surrounding area. Its a wonderful thing for people of all ages, there are many Interactive displays and art exhibits for everyone to play with.This year there was a ball pit, a very large Plinko style machine. Also the number of art exhibits and tunnels that you could walk through along with any area where you could do your own painting.One of my friends owns a performance art and dance studio and choreographed a new show that they did each evening across multiple levels on the one stage. Another friend with his group they could teach you how to solder together a small electronic device that was basically a flashing pin you could stick on your shirt.They were all so many different local restaurants and food trucks Vending food during the event. All in all its definitely worth the price of admission to go down for at least one day.
Enjoyed Ingienuity Fest 20 Stars Ingenuity Cleveland is awesome all the way around 25 more stars.
We really enjoyed the Lottery League band event and the space was pretty cool great venue
Great inventions. Art. Hanging Hammocks. Saturday Night was like a Rave with Music, Artistic people, lots of chill lounging areas. Like bunk beds, big round beds, big round hanging swing chairs. Each spot of the building had different things to see or interact with. Things to buy fdom the Artist.Food trucks. 🔥show. Dancers. Live Music. Just a neat event. Evening was fun. Sunday during day was ok. Last day ppl start packing up. But you can keep your wrist band for the whole weekend and go day or night. Affordable. Good time. Annual event. We will return.
IngenuityFest is one of the best things Cleveland has to offer.
Best event of the year! A must experience for people of all ages!
One of the best places in Cleveland if you are an artist, bolstering community of amazing people.
All the creativity was amazing! Thanks Desh for the invite🤗
Uplifting environment for artists and art-lovers alike.

This place is always a blast! Music, art, food, drinks...what more could you ask for?!?! Seriously, it gets better every year, and you need to check it out!
A place for your ideals to become realities. A grassroots co of artists who share an unusual and unexpected twists and varieties of business development Ingenuity space where the artists unfold thi
This was my first Ingenuity Bal. We went on a double-date. We will attend next year and you should also.Obvious effort was put into making the place look dream-like and they did a good job matching this theme. The music was great- you cant go wrong with a brass band- and if you havent checked out Lady Uno, look her up on YouTube.My only criticism is that they only had one bar and only 3 porta potties for the entire affair- not ingenious. Maybe I can let only one bar slide because the bar queue was located in front of performers. However, it would have been better to have had too many porta potties rather than not enough; also, the bathroom wash water (stored in tanks because no running water in this years event location) was depleted early. Also the music they played between performances in the bar area was so loud that you had to almost shout to talk.These were just minor inconveniences, but hopefully someone there reads this and plans a little bit better next year. Well see, because were coming back next year for sure.
The best fest. Ever.
Great experience! Unique art pieces, live music and unexpected exhibits
Not too crazy about the old warehouse atmosphere with some dirt roads, otherwise it would get 5 stars, great performances along with great food, people ect..,
Very cool festival, there was something for every age group.
Always a great time interesting booths, and inventive and entertaining ways to spend time with friends and family.
Strange but awesome 😂
Was there for the Fuel Cleveland Motorcycle event. Best time Ive had in a long time.
A very versatile space where innovation, collaboration and creativity come alive!
Awesome arts and stuff Event filled with creativity galore !
One of the most fun events Ive ever been to .Activities for all ages.
A lot to see and learn
Had fun at the performance. An industrial space
Havent missed an Ingenuity Fest since 2010 Detroit Superior Bridge! Always fun. Our favorites in 2018 were the interactive indoor games like jumbo skeeball, DDR, xbox kinect room & Lake Erie Illusions! But, I wish itll change locations so itll feel fresh again. Some areas are predictable & stale.
Amazing. Life changing
An amazing experience.
Nice little event. Would go again!
Took my heart on a fantastic journey.
Well worth it, very cool and interesting ❗👍
Difficult to find parking but worth the admission and more. Great displays and plenty of craftspeople on hand to answer questions.
Its always fun to see what they have. Will do it again next year
Great community of creative people and artists!
Truly one of the coolest annual events in Cleveland.
