In 2019 the Taste of Lakewood attracted thousands of people from all over Northeast Ohio. Join us June 12, 2022 at Madison Park in the historic Birdtown Neighborhood of Lakewood. Bring your family and friends and spend the day dining al fresco, drinking craft beer, enjoying great music, while browsing the “shops”.
Plan to wind down your Sunday dining al fresco while enjoying food, beer and wine. As in past years, there will be plenty of outdoor picnic space for you, your friends, and your family.

Dance the day away!
Live music all day!
This year we are proud to announce that local musician Jeff Varga will perform from 1:00-3:30pm. Jeff is a folk-styled, singer-songwriter and 45-year veteran of the Cleveland music scene.
The Whiskey Island Ramblers will perform from 4:15-6:45pm. With Joe Feighan on bass, Ed Feighan on guitar, and fellow Ramblers Tim Lane and Justin Gorski, they have been entertaining Cleveland audiences for over three decades. The group specializes in original Celtic and classic rock.
We have participated as a merchant in the Taste of Lakewood for multiple years because it is really cool to see all of the Lakewood businesses come together for a day of fun and connecting with customers.
