IngenuityFest 2026 Asks: What Does America Dream About?

(CLEVELAND, OH — Aug. 26, 2026) IngenuityFest 2026 will transform Ingenuity Labs (5401 Hamilton Ave.) into a four-story immersive dreamscape September 25-27 exploring one big question: "What does America dream about?”

Since 2004, IngenuityFest has pushed the boundaries of art and science, bringing the two together in unexpected ways. The festival spans a warehouse, outdoor spaces, and one closed street, blending immersive exhibits with the energy of a street festival. Visitors will find hundreds of artists, thousands of festival-goers, food trucks and vendors selling art, thrift finds, jewelry, and baked goods.

Featured experiences include the immersive Garden of Heroes exhibition, live professional wrestling (new this year), aerial and acrobatic storytelling, interactive maker installations, performances by local and regional musicians, and much, much more.

"IngenuityFest has always been about bringing people together through creativity. This year's theme asks audiences to consider the dreams that connect us while celebrating the artists, makers, performers, and innovators who help imagine new possibilities for our future."

-Kristen Hoover Boutton, Board President
