gay games + aha! light up downtown landscape

Bob Perkoski Thursday, August 14, 2014

Last weekend, downtown Cleveland literally was glowing. Thanks to the coinciding of a handful of marquee events, the downtown landscape was percolating with energy, activity and life. Among those events were the Gay Games Opening Ceremonies taking place at Quicken Loans Arena and AHA!, a festival of lights and art installations on and around Mall B.

Fresh Water managing photographer Bob Perkoski was there to record all the colorful action.
