I am so happy that Night Market is back this year. I really felt the void during its hiatus. The…read moreenergy itself of this event makes it worth trying. Wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for the experience. There are wall to wall vendors with a ton of people squeezing through the pathway. They have an area where live music is played. Food trucks are setup in this same area if you just need that. I say that because the restaurant vendors along the main walk more than satisfy any craving you could be having. There are stands with cocktails/beer and they even have a spiked bubble tea! Everything is really official. I will say bring cash. Some of the vendors take cards, and there are two ATMs that I counted, but they kept giving me error codes. It took multiple tries to get my actual cash. I'm not sure if this is the usual practice so beware. Parking was $10, but given the location free parking is definitely in walking distance. All in all a great time.

Why am I just getting out to Night Market?…read more Tips: BRING CASH Besides having no cash and walking half a mile to the nearest ATM, last night was a BLAST. So many booths of great product, food, and booze. So much Cleveland pride in one market. The food was mostly asian inspired, with the ocassional bakery. I found some cool stickers and magnets at Kay Em Apparel. Drank several Market Garden Brewery Octoberfests, and danced along to quality bands and even some hula inspired tunes. Yes, of course it was busy, but what do you expect? It's a quality market and anyone who likes a good time would get out to this place, especially since it's only 1 night a month! There's only one Night Market event left in September, and you better believe I'll be there!

My experience here has always left me feeling euphoric, as a young women who often goes to these shows alone I've never felt unsafe here. The community I've seen and met who accumulate at this concert club are all genuine, caring and kind people, I haven't witnessed any disrespect or angry disputes. This club makes me feel part of the scene knowing that I am in a safe accepting little family! the food is amazing as well, I crave their loaded fries oh gosh so good!!! Their wings they have are the kind that are that have a nice crispy outer layer of flavor that conceals they very tender and moist meat inside :) I will be returning many times in the future, this is by far my favorite venue I've been to!

What can be expensive are the drinks and food inside!!! Obviously expected at concerts, but I refuse to pay $20ish dollars for chicken tenders lol I have been to concerts here in the floor and in the stands and both are great experiences!! If you can't stand for a while obviously seats in the stands would be better but if you're looking for a party style concert - the floor is where you'll want to be! Definitely recommend coming to see your favorite artist here in the summer! You just can't beat it

We enjoyed the contortionist show before we walked the festival. The little ones like seeing the elephant and some of the other animals that were out. We also partook in the bubble teas and some other beverages. Hands on activities are the best! We have so many exciting memories and pictures I can't share them all! I liked the drum that lit the tree up, it reminded me of the tree Ewa on the movie Avatar. You get exercise and steps in while observing wonderful art. It's a win-win. Tip: park close to the exit so you don't wait forever to leave when the festival ends.

It's about as boring as looking at a lamp in your home. Where are all the animals? I mean, even the animals were as about as bored as you were walking around aimlessly in the zoo.

Named Lakewood's BIGGEST SUMMER BLOCK PARTY, this festival had approximately 15,000 people in…read moreattendance. There were food, clothing, art, and other kinds of vendors in attendance. I attended the Lakewood Summer Meltdown Festival on 15 July 2023 which was a Saturday. Oh, it was a meltdown alright - not only did it rain at certain points throughout the day, but it was also hot too so needless to say, we were all melting...haha. For the most part though, I didn't walk all day in an umbrella so besides the rain, my friends and I had fun. BIG YET FUN ATMOSPHERE -- The festival is large because it spans down about 6 side streets all along Detroit Ave. in downtown Lakewood. There was a fun 1-mile family run and walk which I didn't do but I saw kids and adults lining up to race. There were many vendors and I didn't see them all or I passed through some of the vendor stations without fully stopping in each vendor booth. I did stop by the Seeds of Literacy table where I could take a free book plus I received a mini notebook, tote bag, and a pencil case from them. It was great to hear about all the wonderful things they do to bring literacy to those in need. They are always seeking volunteers to help so reach out to them if you are interested. If you have young children including teenagers, this festival is a great way to bring them out to experience food and culture in a fun and safe environment. Some vendors had activities for young kids to do such as arts and crafts. FOOD AND DRINKS -- There were about 7 options to choose from which isn't alot. I also bought some filipino egg rolls, called Lumpia, from the Parilya food truck and they were delicious. I think I bought the beef and pork lumpia or just the beef one. I also bought a 16-oz bottle of fresh orange juice from a new company called "Socially Raw". Specifically, I got the "Buster" which includes organic pineapple, orange, lemon, and ginger. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I bought some small cake pops from a cake pop shop but I forgot the name of the business. SAFETY -- I saw some Lakewood police officers walking down Detroit Ave. to make sure everyone remains safe. If you are looking to get out of your house or apartment in the summer months then I recommend the Lakewood Summer Meltdown festival in July as a fun activity. As of the time of the writing of this review, the festival was held in July 2023. I would suggest more food options for next year. My friend and I ended up getting lunch at a Thai restaurant on Detroit Ave. because we weren't fully interested in any of the food vendors but it was actually cheaper to eat at one of the surrounding restaurants. **** - 97/150 total reviews in 2023 - 648 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 19 December 2023
