DAYCLUB VS. NIGHTCLUB EXPERIENCE IN CLEVELAND
One of the defining characteristics of FWD Day + Nightclub during Season 10 was its transition from a high-volume daytime pool party to a fully immersive nighttime nightclub. This dual-concept format continues to position FWD as one of the most versatile and in-demand nightlife destinations in Cleveland.
During the day, FWD operates as one of the largest outdoor dayclubs in Ohio, offering a resort-style pool party environment in the heart of the Flats East Bank. Season 10 featured nationally recognized DJs and curated music programming centered around house, tech house, Afro-house, and open-format sets. In 2025, various POOL DAY events were held where guests could book VIP cabanas and bottle services tables while lounging in the sun.
