Lakewood, Ohio Makes List of Top Fourth of July Celebrations of 2016

Lakewood, Ohio has made it onto another list — LeafFilter Gutter Protection has compiled a list of their 11 top picks for best Fourth of July celebrations around the country.

Here's what they had to say about Lakewood's Fourth of July celebration:

Off the shores of Lake Erie, this up and coming Ohio town holds a yearly 4th of July celebration that can’t be beat! Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cleveland, attendees can enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Before the display, attendees can take a walk along the beach, get their fill of fair food, and listen to a performance from Lakewood Project offshoot, Lakewood High School’s Youth Rock Orchestra. Then, after dark, enjoy the fantastic fireworks display with a view of the cityscape lit up in the distance. If you’ll be in the area, this event is sure to be a fun time.

Also, be sure to check out the photo they selected, they clearly have excellent taste.
