Cain Park Arts Festival

Friday July 10-Sunday July 11, 2009

The arts scene in Cleveland Heights is jumpin’ this summer. Keep up with all the happenings through Heights Arts. How many cities operate a treasure like Cain Park?  It all started with Shakespeare--an English teacher asked the mayor if her students could put on A Midsummer Night's Dream in a ravine and arts have been happening there ever since.  Sign up for the Heights Arts newsletter and keep up with fun blog items such as a podcast talk by Cain Park Arts Festival Director George Kozmon. Put it on your calendar with other great shows and activities happening there!

Are you looking to find who sang that favorite oldie?  Would you like to know if that old LP in the attic is worth anything?  Would you like a list of all the hits by the singer you saw on TV (or YouTube)?  The Fine Arts Department at Cleveland Public Library has all of the resources you will need to answer these questions and many others about popular music from its beginnings to the present (though we can't tell you who will be hot next year).

THIS PAGE contains a list of some reference books which can help you answer these kinds of questions; some of them are available to check out, but many are reference titles only at the Main Library.  You can come in to use them or call the Fine Arts Department for more information at 216-623-2848.
