For the past two summers, more than 180,000 people have hit the beach to enjoy local bands at Edgewater Live. The party, which also features food trucks, returns to Edgewater Park Thursdays June 9-July 14 and July 28-Aug. 11 with a new twist — Cinema at Sunset. “We’re screening three movies that will align with the band genre for that night,” says Sam Cario, Cleveland Metroparks’ general manager of events and experiences. “Each movie will be a viewer’s choice determined by voting on social media.” 8701 Lakeshore Blvd., Cleveland, 216-635-3200, clevelandmetropark.com
