The Cleveland Museum of Art’s sold-out signature summer event is this Saturday, June 20

CLEVELAND (June 15, 2026)—Additional tickets are now on sale for Solstice, the Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) signature summer event, taking place this Saturday, June 20, from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. This all-inclusive ticket covers unlimited food and beverages, including beer, wine, premade Watershed cocktails, and canned cocktails, during the energy-filled night of music and art. Solstice is for guests 21 or older.   

This year, Solstice’s main stage is a vibrant celebration of North America’s multicultural mosaic. Cirque FLIP Fabrique (Canada) kicks off the outdoor entertainment on the museum’s south terrace with acrobatics performed on top of a retrofitted school bus. Then, live music sets from Daymé Arocena (Cuba), Son Rompe Pera (Mexico), and Nik West (United States) follow. These three electrifying musical acts showcase African diasporic party music, including Afro-Latin jazz, cumbia, and funk. NicNacc and Eso, two prolific Cleveland-based DJ’s famous for their monthly dance parties, take over the atrium. Alessander Lee, costume designer of Cleveland Ballet, along with dancers of Cleveland Ballet parade the grounds of the museum wearing Lee’s newly created costumes, titled “Threads of Becoming.” Projections, light displays, and decorations electrify the museum.
