Get ready to add some sizzle to your summer. Lakewood Summer Meltdown 2018sponsored by Melt Bar & Grilled and presented by LakewoodAlive, is back for its ninth year on Saturday, July 14 from 4 to 10 p.m. in Downtown Lakewood. One of the region’s most highly-anticipated street parties, the Summer Meltdown drew nearly 10,000 attendees from across Northeast Ohio to the heart of Lakewood last year. This “something for everyone” event and fixture on our city’s summer calendar takes place on Detroit Avenue between Marlowe and Elmwood, offering seemingly endless recreation and celebration opportunities, including a 5K race, 1 Mile Kids Fun Run, street festival, outdoor activities, games, food vendors, beer garden, live music and more.
