Part of the original 1796 city plan, Cleveland Public Square is the city's central plaza. Public Square is downtown's premier outdoor venue. The Square is a host site to hundreds of events that happen year round. Cleveland's Public Square was designed with people in mind. The recently-renovated layout features a singular footprint along with other great features like a cafe, a water fountain, an ice rink, a lush lawn with a natural amphitheater, the KeyBank walking promenade, a speakers terrace, and much more.
