Greater Cleveland clambake guide 2021: 24 events to check out this fall - cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Besides the changing color of leaves, one thing that signifies the shift from summer to fall in Northeast Ohio is an abundance of clambake dinners.
With autumn right around the corner, local restaurants and organizations have announced their seafood events. Some function as fundraisers, while others occur as annual specials from Northeast Ohio's taverns, restaurants and bars.
This year, some clambakes are available to-go, due to the pandemic. (We suggest calling ahead to find more information about each restaurant's COVID-19 precautions and plans.)
Here are some of the clambakes taking place in Greater Cleveland in 2021:
