Cleveland’s hometown hero and global multi-platinum recording artist mgk will once again bring the city together for the return of MGK Day, the annual city-sanctioned celebration honoring music, art, community and the city that shaped him. Taking place August 7-8, this year’s festivities will feature a weekend of live performances, skateboarding, community events, local vendors, food, art, and fan experiences across Cleveland, culminating with the MGK Day Art + Community Festival on Saturday, August 8.
This year’s festivities include the Red Bull Best Trick Contest, the annual Harley-Davidson City Ride and the main MGK Day Art + Community Festival powered by Webull, where mgk and GRAMMY and Golden Globe-nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa will deliver the weekend’s headlining performance.
mgk and Wiz Khalifa will cap off their summer together after the lost americana North American Tour, celebrating their longtime friendship and the music that helped define the internet mixtape era. The pair also recently released their collaborative mixtape, blog era boyz, a nine-track project that blends stoner rap, melodic experimentation and reflective storytelling across songs including “family > everything,” “everything tatted,” “girl next door” and “passport.”
MGK Day has grown into one of Cleveland’s signature summer traditions. What began as a celebration of mgk’s impact on his hometown has evolved into a cultural gathering centered on creativity, compassion and community, drawing thousands of fans while highlighting local artists, organizations and businesses. The official MGK Day 2026 poster was designed by legendary artist Mike Giant, whose influential work has become synonymous with skateboarding, tattoo culture, and street art, adding another layer of authenticity to this year’s huge celebration.
