For 24 years, the Great American Rib Cook-Off had been a staple Cleveland event. To take its place, Flats East Bank will host Taste of Summer, a weekend-long event that will feature food, local music, craft cocktails, beer, local vendors, a rock climbing wall, zip line, corn hole, volleyball and many more activities. In addition to all the food and fun, Taste of Summer will also include a Cavs watch party for the playoffs and will televise the Indians games series so sports fans don’t go into withdrawals. The event takes place from 4 to 10 p.m. today and from noon to 10 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday. Admission is free. (Niesel)
