Good day Cleveland. This is the last week of summer, what were some of your favorite memories? Personally, I enjoyed seeing the pools and splash pads re-open across the city and cooling off with a cold glass of lemonade. As we transition to fall, let’s continue to make memories that will last. Take a look at these free community events set to close out the summer.

Community Reporter (he/him)
I work to gain the trust of Cleveland residents through direct community engagement and storytelling. My goal is to amplify and celebrate the residents and stakeholders who contribute to the success of city neighborhoods. I’m hoping to erase the negative stigma that has been cast on some neighborhoods throughout the years.
