September means Oktoberfest
The Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds teem with oom-pah bands and craft beer Friday and Saturday for Cleveland’s 20th annual Oktoberfest. Along with music and food, kids can see the Frisch Marionette Company. And every hour the massive Cleveland Glockenspiel launches forth Schuhplattlers (folk dancers) from Toledo Holzhackerbuam to entertain the crowd.
Everybody dance now
It’s back-to-school, ‘90s style, with this month’s edition of MIX at the Cleveland Museum of Art. On Friday at 6 p.m., wear your Reebok pumps and Generra Hypercolor T-shirts while dancing to the sounds of DJ Castronaut and DJ Guilty Pleasures – leave your Discman at home.
