From the desk of Mayor Bill Cervenik

Dear Friends:

It is finally time to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors. The City of Euclid has many new activities and events for the entire family this summer.  Here are a just few you won’t want to miss:

• Summer Concert Series at the Sims Park Fishing Pier, 23131 Lakeshore Blvd. The concerts will be held on the last Thursday of the month from 6-9 pm and will showcase a variety of talented bands as well as trendy and tasty food trucks. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and enjoy great music, good food and a beautiful view of Lake Erie. For details on the concerts go to the City of Euclid’s website calendar, www.cityofeuclid.com. 

• The Euclid Wind Festival will be held on Saturday, June 14th from 4-9pm at Sims Park along the beach. The Festival will feature tethered hot air balloon rides, land simulated wind surfing lessons, kite making stations, BMX Bike Show, wind turbine tours at Lincoln Electric, Stampco and Wm. Sopko and Sons, arts-n-crafts, balloon artists, inflatable attractions, wind educational stations, great food, cold beverages, and music by Pieces of Eight, a favorite local band.

• City pools will be opening on June 9th and along with them the Spray Park at Indian Hills playground. This facility, which first opened last summer, is a great alternative to the traditional neighborhood pool, especially for families with young kids. The park also has picnic tables, lounge chairs and an updated baseball field. For information on the pools and all the activities that the Recreation Dept. has to offer go to their page at www.cityofeuclid.com

I hope you enjoy strolling along the new walking paths throughout Sims Park and the fishing pier.  Sitting on a park bench and watching the sunset over Lake Erie is something you don’t want to miss. I hope to see you in the neighborhood.

Your Mayor

Bill Cervenik
