## About

LakewoodAlive invites families downtown for live entertainment, local shopping, and holiday activities along Detroit Avenue between Arthur and Marlowe. First Federal Lakewood is the named sponsor. People attending do not register. A separate parade form is only for businesses and organizations that want to be in the parade, not for spectators. The page says more details are still coming, so individual activity times beyond the overall evening are not published here.
