(July 3 – September 2, 2012) Summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra and located about 25 miles south of Cleveland in the 33,000-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the Blossom Music Festival is a 10-week summer series of orchestral and pops concerts. In addition to the festival, the Blossom Pavilion and hillside lawn (which, combined, accommodate nearly 20,000 music lovers) also hosts a series of popular music, country, and jazz concerts presented by Live Nation from May to September.

Pre- and post-concert eats are available at the Blossom Grille, which also provides prepared picnic dinners (call ahead to order) for those who prefer to eat on the lawn or in the park’s wooded picnic areas. The Blossom grounds are also home to the Porthouse Theatre Company, the Eells art gallery, and permanent sculpture displays.
