The fifteenth annual Lakewood Zombie Walk will be taking place this Saturday (April 30) at The Five O’Clock Lounge in Lakewood. The event features a unique parading experience in which everyone is dressed up as zombies. This is a fun for all-ages event for the whole family that benefits a great cause to those in need.
The first part of this year’s event will be the makeup stage. From 1:00-4:00, professional special effects makeup artists will provide zombie and horror makeup looks for anyone participating in the walk. The makeup they provide is versatile and full of possibilities. The zombie makeup will be offered for $10.
Zombie looks are not the only ones featured. Any horror, zombie, or otherwise cool and creepy makeup and outfit looks are greatly appreciated, too. Whether that be a clown, an alien, a demon, or anything else, all are accepted.
From 4:30-5:30, the zombie walk will take place. Participants will depart from The Five O’Clock Lounge, and the parade will commence. The route for the parade will be announced on Saturday.
The Lakewood Zombie Walk, since its conception, has benefitted the Cleveland Food Bank and has provided all of the proceeds as donations. Admission to this year’s walk is $5 per person plus two canned food goods in support of the food bank.
Further information can be found here on the Facebook page for the event under its annual posting.
Make sure to come out and show your scariest costume!
