Additionally, visitors will have the chance to see excerpts from this year's All-City Musical: Guys and Dolls.

“After another overwhelming success at last year’s event, the Museum is proud to host Rock Your World once again,” said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. “It’s gratifying to see the students of the Cleveland Municipal School District demonstrate such a great appreciation for the arts. The Museum is proud to provide these exceptional young people with the opportunity to showcase their talents.”

It’s a wonderful opportunity for the entire city to experience the creativity, energy and talent the school district has to offer. It’s a showcase of talent for the families, friends, and community to enjoy.”

More than 8,000 people attended last year’s festival, and this year an even larger crowd is expected.  Art lovers from all walks of life are encouraged to attend and support the outstanding creative efforts of our community’s talented young people.
