IngenuityFest 2009 Day One 07.10.09 With The Big Bang opening ceremonies kicking off Ingenuity 2009 on
Fri 9/10' right on Star Plaza with hundreds of drummers led my Marcus Santos, belly dancing by Troupe Shabaana, Great Lakes Pipe & Drum Band, and the world-famous Shaw High School Marching Band, you knew it was going to be a good day. The incessant drumming brought the citizens out of their downtown cubicles and onto the street and into the 26 venues featuring cool art, technology and music.
Watch the slideshow for glimpses of the fun we were having: bands Mystery of Two and Peachcake on the Mainstage, filmmaker/dancer/choreographer Kathy Rose in the Idea Center, KB & The Riptides backing up Ian Charnas and the Tesla Orchestra, If These Trees Could Talk in the All Go Signs Alley, and tons of people with huge grins on their faces. Wonder what will Day Two will bring? http://www.IngenuityCleveland.com.
