Lakewood Summer Meltdown

Now in its ninth year, Lakewood Summer Meltdown takes place today on Detroit Avenue between Marlowe and Mars. The street festival features all sorts of outdoor games and activities, including a 5-K race and a 1-mile Kids Fun Race for the little ones. (You can register for the races on the website.) The local band Front Porch Lights will perform, food trucks will arrive and (yes!) there is a beer garden. The fest takes place from 4 to 10 p.m. Admission is free. (Niesel)
