This was my first time at the Cleveland Taco Festival and it was a blast. It covers lots of real estate on the West Bank of the Flats and produces some amazing views and backdrops. (And photos! See my photos of the Cleveland Air Show from the Taco Fest.)
The food and drink, of course, were the stars of the Festival but there was a lot more. There was musical entertainment, a huge Kids Zone with interactive fun games for kids and even Lucha Libre wrestling! Here are some images from the 2026 Cleveland Taco Fest.
I was surprised at the variety of taco, and other food, options. For example, I tried a pierogi taco and a paprikash taco! This is Cleveland, after all. There was even a food truck with Maine lobster options including a lobster taco!
And there were cocktail options for all tastes.
The DJs were playing fun music and the wrestling was an unexpected surprise.
And with the location on the Cuyahoga River there were scenic backdrops even beyond the Cleveland Air Show.
I will definitely be back next year!
