Wade Oval just got a little bit louder, more rhythmic and reflective of Cleveland's cultural and artistic institutions.
University Circle Inc's Wade Oval Wednesdays, made possible by PNC Bank, are back in time to kick off summer in Cleveland.

Wade Oval Wednesdays started out as a listener's lunch series in 2004 and grew into an after-work concert series in 2006. Music jams have been filling the park for 13 years and counting.
“This season brings back crowd favorites with new experiences, like dueling pianos and Double Dutch performers. Those of all ages will find plenty to explore in the Circle,” said David Robinson, Director of Events and Engagement for University Circle Inc.
The public can expect more than a dozen food trucks surrounding the circle plus the beer and wine garden and kid-friendly activities.
The PNC Mobile Learning Adventure will visit WOW July 26 and Aug. 2. The traveling exhibit gives parents and caregivers an opportunity to learn about the importance of early childhood education while doing fun activities with their children.
