Events this weekend in Cleveland this weekend 🔥

This weekend in Cleveland has that slightly chaotic, slightly romantic, very mid-winter energy. Everyone’s hedging their bets between going full big-night-out and just finding an excuse to day-drink in a costume, and honestly, the events lineup reflects that perfectly. Over 15,000 people have already clicked “interested” or “going,” so if you’re still in the group chat typing “what’s the vibe?”, the answer is: loud, a little weird, and very Cleveland.

The one to book first is MIX: Peace, Love, and Soul — that classic museum-night-out meets dance party vibe that pulls in everyone who still likes to pretend they’re cultured while clutching a cocktail. It’s got big-night energy without the bros-on-West-6th energy, and it’s where you go if you want to actually see people you know, or at least people you’ll end up following on Instagram. If you’re looking for a proper venue moment, Rocket Arena and Connor Palace are still anchoring the city’s memory-making nights, with the kind of shows that make you change out of sweatpants on a Friday in February.

If your winter coping mechanism is “lean into the ridiculous,” Cupid's Undie Run – Cleveland is your move. It’s the annual tradition where people voluntarily run around in their underwear for a good cause, then pretend it wasn’t mostly about having beers before noon. Perfect for the friend group that starts every plan with, “Hear me out…” On the sweeter side, Cleveland Bazaar Valentine at Lake Affect Studios is where the crafty, artsy, and chronically last-minute Valentine shoppers will be scrambling for gifts that look like you planned ahead. It’s classic Cleveland maker-scene energy: local vendors, cool crowd, and at least three things you’ll buy for yourself "by accident."

Then there’s the fringe chaos: the Cleveland Cocoa Run for people who need a reason to move their body before earning their hot chocolate (and probably brunch), and Go F*ck Yourself 3, which sounds exactly like the kind of unfiltered, niche event your most unhinged friend would drag you to—and you’d secretly love. Treelawn Social Club continues to be the spot for those low-key-but-not-boring hangs, the kind of place you end up at after saying, “Let’s just keep it chill tonight,” and then somehow closing the place.

If you’re still plotting your moves, here’s how to play it:
- Book first: MIX: Peace, Love, and Soul for a big, social, artsy night out.
- For chaos lovers: Cupid’s Undie Run – Cleveland and Go F*ck Yourself 3.
- For last-minute Valentine shoppers: Cleveland Bazaar Valentine at Lake Affect Studios.
- For active-ish types: Cleveland Cocoa Run, then find the nearest brunch.
- For venue people: Check what’s on at Rocket Arena and Connor Palace if you want that "I actually left my neighborhood" feeling.
- For a chill-but-interesting hang: Treelawn Social Club, always.

This is what discovery looks like in Cleveland right now: a little sweaty, a little sentimental, and very much worth leaving the couch for.
