This summer, the City of Cleveland invites you to press play on Summer Soundtrack 2026! In collaboration with community partners across the city, we are bringing together a wide range of safe, supportive, and engaging opportunities designed to help young people and families grow, explore, and thrive.
Across our neighborhoods, youth and families can connect to programs built through strong partnerships, all working together to create meaningful summer experiences.
Whether you're a teen ready for your first job, a student looking to keep learning, or a parent or caregiver planning a meaningful summer, there’s something here for you. Summer Soundtrack is your go-to resource for a summer filled with opportunity, connection, and fun across Cleveland.
Here's How It Works
Summer Soundtrack is built on three "tracks"! Use the sidebar on the top left to explore details and find the track that fits your summer mix.
