East Mount Zion Baptist Church
For generations, East Mount Zion has served as an African-American community anchor and source of spiritual enrichment. It was the first African American Congregation to hold religious services on Euclid Avenue, representing a foothold for African Americans from the segregated central neighborhood to a predominantly white neighborhood. East Mount Zion Church was designated a local landmark by the City of Cleveland Landmarks Commission in 1980. CityMusic’s first performance at East Mount Zion was in October 2023, where we performed our Celebrating Black Excellence program.

Address
Fairfax
Fairfax is Cleveland’s Renaissance neighborhood and is home to an increasingly diverse community and is a neighborhood of choice. Whether you are looking to own or rent you can find your home here as the housing options continue to expand. The first phase of Opportunity Corridor is complete and the second phase of Opportunity Corridor is underway. This boulevard creates a new gateway into Fairfax that stimulates connectivity through transit, bicycle, natural walking paths and local roads. It creates a new address for Fairfax unlocking the potential for new housing, economic development, quality jobs and a new energy for the community.
The neighborhood has a deep heritage and was home to several notable people and a source of inspiration to many such as Langston Hughes, playwright/poet/activist, Garrett Morgan, inventor of the traffic light/gas mask, Jesse Owens, Olympic gold medalist to name a few. Two nationally recognized institutions, Cleveland Clinic, the 2nd largest employer in Ohio and Karamu House, the country’s first inter-racial theater and arts center call Fairfax home.
