Old Brooklyn Nite: A Great Place to Glow

Get ready to light up the night at Old Brooklyn Nite: Celebrate, our neighborhood’s favorite end of the summer celebration is back and brighter than ever! This unforgettable evening is set for September 13, 2025, from 6:00-10:00pm and will transform Ben Franklin Community Garden into a glowing hub of community connection, entertainment, and fun.

See you on Stanford Ave on July 10!

The Old Brooklyn Farmers Market returns soon on Thursday evenings along Stanford Avenue! Enjoy fresh produce, local music, delicious food, a pop-up beer garden, and creative activities for all ages. With returning favorites and new vendors, this summer’s market will be full of community, good vibes, and plenty to explore.

Neighbors Supporting Neighbors

Old Brooklyn resident and retired Cleveland Police officer Frank Wolter, owner of Lucky’s Bar and Grille, proudly supports community beautification. Through the Residential Assistance Program, Frank donated $1,500 in materials and labor to install new gutters on a home for a fellow resident. Thank you, Frank!

Summer Sounds at the Garden

The Summer Music Series is back at the Ben Franklin Community Garden with free outdoor concerts on the first and third Saturdays, June through September at 6 pm! Enjoy jazz, folk, global rhythms, and more from local musicians. Bring a chair, enjoy the fresh air, and kick back with great local music.

Old Brook High Makes a Difference in Old Brooklyn



Old Brook High School is an awesome community partner—showing up for local events, volunteering to clean up our main streets, and offering flexible, alternative education pathways for teens and adults alike. Their commitment to helping students succeed both in and out of the classroom makes a lasting impact. We’re grateful to have them in Old Brooklyn! Pictured here is Director, Ms. Beasley, teachers Ms. Harrison and Ms. Vitale, and Old Brook students cleaning up State Road.
