The Summer Meltdown represents one of the region’s most highly-anticipated street parties. A summertime celebration of our city’s vibrancy, this free community event draws 10,000+ attendees from across Northeast Ohio to the heart of Lakewood each July.

The Summer Meltdown is a “something for everyone” community event, offering the Meltdown 5K race, 1 Mile Family Fun Run and Walk, street festival (4 - 8 pm), outdoor activities, games, food vendors, beer garden, live music and more.

The ever-popular Meltdown 5K serves as a fundraiser for LakewoodAlive. Sponsored by Cleveland Clinic Lakewood Family Health Center, this staple of the Summer Meltdown draws hundreds of participants annually, as it features a fast course, chip timing, a t-shirt for participants and prizes for top finishers. Both this running event and the 1 Mile Family Fun Run and Walk, sponsored by Lakewood Family YMCA and Lakewood City Schools Community Recreation and Education Department, afford participants a rare opportunity to partake in an evening race.
Families will love the street festival component, which features vendor tents from 100+ businesses and nonprofits organizations, many of which offer interactive opportunities. Activities range from the “Water Moose” sprinkler park to exercise demonstrations to a skateboard park sponsored by West Side Skates.
Local brews available in the Gary K. Bish Memorial Beer Garden presented by First Federal Lakewood will complement dining options from vendors and food trucks. Live music from alternative rock band Front Porch Lights on the Beer Garden Stage sponsored by The Exchange Stores, Cleveland Property Management Group and Ferry Cap and Set Screw Corporation will delight the crowd as dusk turns to nightfall in beautiful Downtown Lakewood.
