One of the true gems of the Western Reserve, Cain Park, operated and operated by the City of Cleveland Heights, is truly, "Your Summer Arts Park." With annual events such as the Cain Park Arts Festival, theater presentations in the intimate Alma Theater, and larger concerts in the Evans Amphitheater, Cain Park brings back memories of fragrant, balmy summer nights under the stars. Drawing national attention when it was built in the 1930's with its ambitious "10 shows in 10 weeks" credo, Cain Park has grown to accommodate the best of today's popular culture.

The exciting 2009 season on the large Evans Amphitheatre stage features concert artists such as Skinny, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Judy Collins, Over The Rhine, Livingston Taylor, The Beach Boys, Arlo Guthrie & Richie Havens, Jonathan Kingham, John McCutcheon, Long Road and Pavlo, among others, plus dance presentations such as Dancing Wheels, Pointe of Departure, GroundWorks Dancetheater, Inlet Dance Theatre and Verb Ballets, plus special cabaret performances.

Big Cool Cats Productions is proud to be working closely with the staff of Cain Park and the City of Cleveland Heights to bring you the first annual Big Cool Cats Music Festival on the Evans Amphitheatre stage at Cain Park on June 20, 2009. We look forward to continuing the traditional of exciting, world-class performance on stage at Cain Park this summer!
