(Original story 12/16/16): Cleveland’s inaugural Donut Fest is coming in February. Yes, Donut Fest, as in a festival for donuts (or doughnuts for you purists). This is good news. Very good news.
The fest, slated for February 12 at Red Space, is being organized by Bobalky and Gnocchi, a company out of Chicago. They’ve thrown Donut Fests in the Windy City for years now and also branched out to New York. Needless to say, those sweet, sweet heavenly donut-filled events have been spectacular. (Check out the Chicago Reader or Crave recaps of previous years’ festivities for proof.)
And now Cleveland is thankfully getting some of the action.
Local bakeries and restaurants already on the list of participants includes Moxie, Becker’s, Jubilee Donuts, Bloom Bakery, Brewnuts, Mary Anne Donuts and Brewnuts, and all are battling to be declared to have the best donut in Cleveland. As for coffee, Hartzler Family Dairy, Erie Island Coffee Co., Rising Star Coffee Roasters and Solstice Coffee, City Roast will be in attendance.
Tickets will be sold by session beginning in January. Tickets to the first session (8 – 10 a.m.) are $45 and get you early entry, taste tickets for every donut, coffee and a donut mug. Kids 3 and under get in free. Tickets to the second and third sessions (10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.) are $30 per person and include taste tickets.

Are you out of your mind with those prices!?
I’d pay double to try that many donuts.
no donut will ever be as good as the original sour cream donut from the real Presti’s in little italy.
TOO BAD CHARLES BAKERY IN SLAVIC VILLIGE OR HOUGH BAKERY SOUTH EAST SIDE ARE GONE WOULD REALLY GIVE THEM A RUN FOR THE MONEY !!!
Jack Frost inParma best by a mile.
Too bad Peter Pan Donuts are no longer around….they even had a window to
et you watch them make the donuts right in the city of East cleveland….if they are not hand cut they are not donuts…
So many jokes about Steve Loomis can be found in the story.
What is location?
Disappointing to see that tickets are actually $35, and, with a handling fee and processing fee, come out to more than $40/ticket. Sure, it’s a small difference, but that adds up when you are purchasing several tickets.
OK, I ‘m nuts. They’re only $30! Perhaps I was looking at a different city.
I was going to buy these tickets for my husband for Valentine’s Day but they sold out so quickly! Does anyone have 2 extras they’d be willing to sell?
