Site

The event site is

Cleveland Central Catholic High School

in Cleveland's historic Slavic Village district. (This was the site of Eikbrandr and Runa's first coronation.)

 

Accessibility

Accessibility Coordinator: Nest Bengrek (email)

The majority of the site (including all classrooms) is completely accessible by elevator in the main building, but the merchants, feast, martial classes, and court are all in a building across the street that has a staircase straight off the door, and activities are a half-flight up or down.

There will be a reserved parking area adjacent to the classroom building for people with special need for it.

Contact the Accessbility Coordinator with any questions.

Directions

From any way other than East on I-80

Find your way to Interstate 77 in Cleveland.

Take Exit 159B (Fleet Avenue). The ramp in either direction is slightly complicated, but continue until to you reach the major east-west artery, Fleet Avenue. If you are approaching from the north, turn left onto Fleet; from the south, turn right.

Follow Fleet Avenue about 3/4 mile to 65th Street.

Turn left on 65th Street.

Follow 65th Street about .2 miles to Baxter Avenue.

Look for the blue-and-white Cleftlands nebuly directional signs.

Parking assistance will be available from that point.

From the East on I-80 (Ohio Turnpike)

Those approaching from the east on I-80 may find the route below quicker than going all the way to I-77. Be aware that the last segment of the trip (Broadway) is a busy urban street and that the going may be somewhat slower than is indicated on your GPS or mapping program:

Get off the Turnpike at I-480 (exit 187). Follow I-480 West (north) approximately 20 miles. Be careful: 480 merges with, then splits from, I-271 North; the junctions can be confusing.

Exit I-480 at Broadway (exit 23; this is about 2 miles after the I-480/I-271 split). At the end of the ramp, turn RIGHT onto Broadway.

Follow Broadway about 4 miles to Baxter Avenue and turn left. The Broadway portion of the route can also be confusing due to merges and splits with other streets, but the required turns to remain on Broadway are well marked.
