Ritual
Saturday July 11th
Some nights call for a little darkness.
Join us for RITUAL, an evening of goth, industrial, darkwave, post-punk, synthpop, and alternative dancing featuring DJ Dracula & DJ Circuitry with special guest Mimi Dromette.
These DJs have been part of Northeast Ohio's alternative music scene for years, and they're bringing a mix of club favorites, forgotten gems, and dark dance floor classics to Bluebird for one unforgettable night.
Whether you're a longtime fan of the scene, feeling nostalgic for your club days, or just curious what all the black clothing is about, you'll find great music, great drinks, and plenty of room on the dance floor.
Wear black. Wear pink. Wear whatever makes you happy. Just come ready to dance.

Cruel Summer Night Market
Saturday July 25th
One of my favorite things about creative people is that they're always making something.
Jewelry. Art. Clothing. Candles. Curiosities. Tiny little treasures that make you stop and say, "Well, that's coming home with me."
On July 25, Bluebird is hosting Cruel Summer Night Market, bringing together an incredible collection of artists, makers, collectors, and small businesses for an evening of shopping, conversation, and community.
If you love supporting local creators, discovering things you won't find in big box stores, and meeting people who are passionate about what they do, this is absolutely worth checking out.
We'll have drinks, good company, and a room full of fascinating things waiting to be discovered.
🖤 Cruel Summer Night Market 🖤 Hosted by Sandwitch & Sage
05:00 PM - 09:30 PM
Funeral for a Clown: an Interactive Murder Mystery
Saturday August 1st
I have some terrible news.
A clown has died.
I realize that statement may not elicit the same level of sympathy from everyone, but nevertheless, Peanut the Clown—star performer of the Beasley Traveling Circus—has met an untimely end.
For years, Peanut wowed audiences with his grand finale: being launched from a cannon and safely landing in a giant net.
Last week, however, someone sabotaged the net.
As it turns out, Peanut may not have been quite as beloved as everyone claimed.
Join us at Bluebird for Funeral for a Clown, an interactive murder mystery where you'll question suspects, uncover secrets, and help determine who sent the circus's favorite clown hurtling toward his final curtain call.
Costumes are HIGHLY encouraged!
Ringmasters, fortune tellers, acrobats, strongmen, lion tamers, magicians, carnival barkers, sideshow attractions, clowns, or whatever delightfully ridiculous circus character you dream up—we want to see it.
Your ticket will include dinner, featuring elevated takes on classic circus and carnival favorites.
Full bar available throughout the evening.
Tickets will be available soon. Keep an eye on our page for details.
Come solve a murder.
The only clown here is the victim.
06:00 PM - 10:00 PM
