December 10 - Cleveland - 78th Street Studio When someone says “craft fair,” some of the first things that come to mind might be handmade mugs, appliquéd purses and bags or hand-knitted mittens. At the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair, you’ll find mugs, bags and mittens — but crafted with old records, monsters and skulls and crossbones. This is definitely not your stereotypical DIY craft fair. Bazaar Bizarre is a nationwide yet localized craft fair aiming to please the indie crowds that started in 2001 with a few friends and acquaintances of founder, Greg Der Ananian. “Dissatisfied wit...

What started 14 years ago as a birthday party has now evolved into one of Southern Ohio’s largest rock festivals. It used to be hosted near Bellefontaine, Ohio, but has outgrown the location and is now hosted in Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio. As the name implies, the location is pretty illustrious: Legend Valley has been hosting concerts since the mid-’70s and has seen plenty of epic acts come through their grassy fields on their way to rock greatness — everyone from Hank Williams, Jr. to AC/DC. This year’s fest should continue that tradition with over 40 bands performing on two st...

This year the festival will host over 50 musical acts on three stages, plus a silent disco stage, a live-art circus tent and over 50 visual artists. The festival, now in its second year, is more than just art and music: It also features performers from varied fields like hooping and poi performers, who perform in front of the stages on raised platforms as part of t...
Halloween may still be some six months away, but that doesn't mean you can't stagger through the streets like a menacing, brain-chowing zombie. (Hell, some of us do that every Saturday!) Here's your opportunity to dress like the undead for a worthy cause: Since 2006, Akron's Zombie Walk and Festival has raised more than 5,000 pounds of food for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, a number organizers hope to increase via today's repeat event. What do the zombies get out of all this, you may ask? Besides the obvious thrill of pretending to eat your buddies' eyeballs, you can count on an afterpar...
