Plans are progressing for the 14th annual Discover Cedar Fairmount Festival, to be held on Sunday, Aug. 9, from noon to 5 p.m. The festival committee has added more entertainment and venues this year.

The ever-popular Arts and Crafts Sale, featuring space for local artists, crafters and vendors to sell their work, will be located on Lennox and Surrey roads, and in the Zoss the Swiss Baker’s parking lot.

Returning entertainers lined up so far for this year include Eclectic Vision and Get Back Duo. The festival committee is adding a stage this year, to highlight some of the entertainment, and is still seeking entertainers and musicians for this year’s festival. Those interested should contact the Cedar Fairmount Special Improvement District office at 216-791-3172 or cedarfairmount@aol.com.

Musical Mark and Whipples the Clown will return to delight little ones, and the Cleveland Heights Church will convert the India Community Center into a playland for kids. Ten Thousand Villages and Open Doors will also offer kids’ activities during the festival.

Other festival features include the popular Euclid Beach Rocket Car, which will offer rides throughout the day, thanks to Dave’s Market, and Fifth Third Bank will sponsor the festival’s bounce house.
