It’s the season for apple picking, clambakes, pumpkin spice and watching the leaves change color. Fall also has its festivals – and the biggest one starts tonight.

Here comes IngenuityFest.

At 6 tonight, the city’s biggest celebration of art and technology opens a three-day run at the Ingenuity Lab on Hamilton Avenue.

This year’s theme – Forging the Future – bridges Cleveland’s industrial roots with futuristic, interactive art, hands-on demonstrations and immersive installations.

Ingenuity’s six stages will host dozens of musical acts and DJs, dancers, acrobats and performers. Its interactive rooms allow attendees to absorb waves of sound and lights and interact with old- and new-tech activities.

It’s also a chance to party in hulking reborn factory that exemplifies a new direction for the city. More info.

The exhibition features artifacts and multi-media displays, beginning with the first film made here: an 1897, 45-second short by the Thomas Edison Company.

“[It’s] confirmation that our story, our struggles, and our sound meant something deeper than music,” says Krayzie Bone. “From Cleveland’s corners to the classrooms, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony inspired a generation to believe in their own voice.”

The group will perform after the presentation. Info.

The Guardians were on the precipice of history as they took the field against the Tigers.

Their starting pitchers have allowed two runs or less in 19 consecutive games – one short of the record set over a century ago.

They didn’t make it. The Tigers attacked Parker Messick and the Guardians bats went dead, despite Jose Ramirez breaking the team record for extra base hits. The 4-2 loss leaves the teams with the same record – though Cleveland has the tiebreaker.

The magic number to take the division is three – any combo of Guardians wins against the Rangers and Tigers losses against the Red Sox.

The Guards hold the tiebreaker with Houston and are, in effect, two games ahead of them in the Wild Card race.
