Blossom Music Center

Blossom sits in a heavily wooded setting beside Cuyahoga Valley National Park, giving it a genuinely outdoorsy feel. The pavilion and lawn have hosted both the Cleveland Orchestra and major touring acts for decades.

Driving is the main option. General parking is included for many concerts, with paid upgrades available. The property is large and traffic backs up, so arrive earlier than you would for an urban venue.

Clear plastic or vinyl tote bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 in are allowed, plus small non-clear clutches up to 6 x 9 in. Other bag types are not permitted.

Bug spray, water and weather awareness matter on summer nights. The property is sprawling, so comfortable shoes help. If you care about a faster exit, the upgraded parking options can be more useful here than at a downtown venue.
