Euclid Beach Blast!

Euclid Beach Blast!

By Stephen Love

The Euclid Beach Adopt-A-Beach Team has partnered with Arts Collinwood and Project Pop-Up Galleries to bring you Euclid Beach Blast!, a day of free summer festivities, food, art, music, environmental awareness and fun at Euclid Beach Park, July 16 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Help us kick off the day with a beach cleanup, then grab your shovels for a sand castle contest. Stroll an outdoor pop up art show, grab some food from one of Cleveland’s famous food trucks, enjoy some tunes from 106.5 “The Lake” and learn about how you can help Euclid Beach and our Greatest Lake! Ride your bike and we’ll even throw in a prize. Visit information tables from the Alliance for the Great Lakes, Northeast Shores Development Corporation, Euclid Beach Park Now and more! End the day with some live Latin music by Grupo Son Gitano! But if that wasn’t enough, join the After Blast! party at the Café Arts Collinwood at 7 p.m. for more music, food and fun!
