CMJ Rock Hall Music Fest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CMJ Rock Hall Music Fest was an annual music festival that took place in venues across Cleveland, Ohio. The festival was sponsored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, located on the shores of Lake Erie downtown, as well as by CMJ, or College Music Journal, a weekly magazine for the music industry and college radio stations in the United States and Canada.

It premiered in 2005. The festival featured live bands at a variety of locations throughout Cleveland, and initially included a festival village on the west bank of The Flats near the Cuyahoga River. The second festival was held June 14-18, 2006, and featured a relocated festival village at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Attendance at both the festival and the village location improved during its second run. In April 2007, organizers canceled the event, citing strains on financial and staffing resources.^[1]
