Cleveland International Tattoo

Cleveland International Tattoo CIT is a patriotic musical display of military, first responder and ethnic performing artists.

Saturday May 21, 2022 *** 7:00 PM *** Public Auditorium

Throughout European military history, musicians would march out from barracks at the end of the day to play signals and alert troops to return home before the castle gates were locked for the night. In the 17th Century, when these musicians called the soldiers to retire, the Dutch phrase “doe den tap toe” or “shut off the taps” could often b

e heard in the village pubs of Holland and Flanders. As these nightly occurrences became popular sources of entertainment to the villagers, they also became evermore elaborate. This popular tradition of public musical and drill displays evolved into the modern-day tattoo, condensed from “tap toe,” much like the solemn tune "Taps." We invite you to enjoy the displays of marching, music, dance, and song by the finest men and women from across North America, and join with our international community in remembering the fallen heroes who have returned home for the final call. The entire community joins together in remembrance, fellowship and celebration to salute our Safety Forces, our Armed Forces, and our country.
