A Dream Come True
What an incredible weekend! We hope everyone who attended IngenuityFest 2026 left feeling like their creative spark was ignited. You certainly ignited our spark, as we hit record numbers this year! We are working on finalizing calculations, and we can't wait to share the report with you in the next couple weeks.
Thank you for making our dreams come true.
Please join us again for IngenuityFest 2027, September 24-26.

Every ticket and donation supports Cleveland's creative community year-round, not just during our favorite weekend in September.
Help us keep the creative spark alive!
We Want To Hear From You!
Ingenuity means finding clever, inventive ways to make things better, and we'd love your help doing exactly that for IngenuityFest.
Take a few minutes to fill out our feedback survey and tell us what worked, what didn't, and what you'd like to see next year. Your ideas might be the most ingenious part of the festival!
Those who complete the survey will be entered to win an Ingenuity merch pack!
We Couldn't Do It Without You
Behind every moment of IngenuityFest is a whole community of people who made it possible. Thank you to all these supporting roles!
