The Lakewood Summer Meltdown is back for the 14th year, offering a mid-summer street party in downtown Lakewood, on Detroit Avenue between Marlowe and Arthur avenues. It’s sponsored by Melt Bar and Grilled, which got its start in Lakewood.
The Cleveland Clinic Center for LGBTQ+ Care & Lakewood Family Health Center sponsor a 5K race while the Lakewood City Schools Community Recreation & Education Department sponsors the 1 Mile Family Fun Run and Walk. The two races raise funds for the free street party, with the 1 Mile race stepping off at 6pm and the 5K at 7pm.
Before and after, whether you race/walk or not, you can enjoy food vendors, a beer garden, games, fitness activities, a skate park, the popular “Water Moose” sprinkler, and live music from Front Porch light at 7pm.
