CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s festival season ... church festivals, ethnic festivals, art festivals and more. Some have admission fees, others are free. All have food and most have music.

For most festivals you dress for the weather and head out. Not for the Great Lakes Medieval Festival. For that you dress for the weekly theme. You’ll want a costume so you can fit in with the steampunk fantasy theme this weekend. If you lack the right clothes, grab the appropriate goggles and hat on your way into the festival.
