The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio (DCNEO) invites you, your family, and your neighbors to join us at  the DCNEO Community Festival & Walk on Saturday, May 9, 2026. Formerly known as Walk, Rock, Roll &  Run, this year’s event returns to the Great Lakes Science Center with a renewed focus on what matters  most: connection, community, and the simple belief that everyone deserves to belong. 

In addition to the Walk, there will be family-friendly interactive activities on the plaza as well as free  admission to the Great Lakes Science Center (day of the event only) and discounted admission to the  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

Event Details 

• When: Saturday, May 9, 2026 
• Where: Great Lakes Science Center (601 Erieside Ave, Cleveland, Ohio 44114) • Time: 8:30 a.m. (Walk begins)

While the event is free, those looking to deepen their impact can start a walking team to fundraise.  Whether it’s a group of coworkers, a faith community, or just a band of friends, your contributions ensure  DCNEO’s programs remain accessible to youth and organizations throughout our region. These  programs: 

• Equip students and educators with leadership skills. 
• Strengthen workplaces through inclusive dialogue.
