Edgewater LIVE Returns May 30

CLEVELAND — Edgewater LIVE will return on May 30. The summer concert series will include opening acts from Cuyahoga Community College and local headlining bands in evening performances.

"Cleveland Metroparks continues to look for opportunities to build on the free programming that we offer," said Cleveland Metroparks CEO Brian Zimmerman. "With a host of unique venues, throughout our diverse communities, it's a great opportunity to connect the community with nature through music."

The May 30 Edgewater show will start at 4:30 p.m. on the Centennial Plaza at Edgewater Beach House. Performers from the Tri-C Creative Arts Program will get the crowd warmed up. Then, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., local headliners will take the Dollar Bank Stage and rock audiences.

During the concerts, food trucks from around the region will park and feed the crowds. There will also be a happy hour and made-to-order fare from the Beach House, which features views of Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline.

This is the sixth straight year that Edgewater LIVE has been put on. The concert series will run through August 1 and will always be held on Thursdays. All of the performances are free and open to the public.

At nearby Rocky River Reservation, the Metroparks will host a Wednesday night concert series called the Stinchcomb Summer Concerts. That series will be held every Wednesday in July, the park system announced.
