Cirque de Lakewood

Step right up! LakewoodAlive invites you to the fundraising event of the season, Cirque de Lakewood: A Loving Lakewood Spectacular, sponsored by Cleveland Property Management Group. You won’t want to miss this unforgettable night in support of our community-centered mission.

Join us on Saturday, February 28, from 7:30–11:00 PM at the historic Lakewood Masonic Temple for an evening inspired by the mystery and magic of a vintage, night circus. This annual fundraiser brings together neighbors, supporters, and community champions for a night that celebrates everything we love about Lakewood, while raising critical funds to support LakewoodAlive’s housing outreach, community events, and small business support programs.

Guests can expect an immersive evening filled with delicious food and drinks, interactive games, an exciting live auction, captivating entertainment, a DJ, dancing, tarot card readings by Oktober’s, and more! It’s a night of spectacle, celebration, and community all wrapped into one incredible experience.

This year we are honoring six amazing and engaged Lakewoodites who each do so much for our wonderful community. We will be recognizing Cindy & Will Costello, Oliver Harper, Joe Kerrigan, and Michael & Tina Dolatowski at the event. 

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 9, with both General Admission and VIP options available. VIP ticket holders can look forward to special perks and an elevated event experience. The VIP experience includes early entrance at 6:30 PM, access to preferred (first come, first served) free parking, an open bar for the first hour and two drink tokens, an exclusive VIP menu, a chance to enter the VIP-only raffle drawing, and all General Admission offerings. The General Admission ticket includes two drink tokens, heavy appetizers, and access to all our circus spectacle themed activities and fun!

Please note: New this year, ticket sales and night of purchases will be linked together, so you will be asked to create an account when purchasing tickets. You’ll be able to use the event site to view auction items and purchase raffle tickets and additional drink tokens ahead of the big night. Thank you for taking this extra step now to make event night better than ever!

Attendees are encouraged to lean into the theme and dress to impress in vintage circus-inspired attire. Think:

• Ringmasters and showmen
• Fortune tellers and mystics
• Aerialists, acrobats, and performers
• Bearded ladies, strongmen, or carnival characters
• Old-world circus glam, sequins, stripes, and dramatic flair

Whether your look is bold, mysterious, whimsical, or classic, costumes will help bring the magic of Cirque de Lakewood to life!

This is more than a party–it’s a celebration of community and a vital fundraiser that helps LakewoodAlive continue its work fostering a vibrant, welcoming Lakewood for all. We hope you’ll join us under the big top for a truly spectacular evening!
