Now in its third year, the Lee-Harvard Block Party continues to celebrate the foundations of a strong and connected community. In 2023, we honored the local businesses that shaped our neighborhood (“Stores”). In 2024, we celebrated the schools that nurtured generations of leaders. This year, our theme is “Streets”—the paths that connect our lives, stories, and histories. Each theme reflects an essential element of what makes Lee-Harvard a resilient and vibrant community.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Over the course of nearly five decades, this community has grappled with disinvestment. In a collaborative effort involving the City of Cleveland, the Cleveland City Council, the Harvard Community Service Center, and the expertise of APD Urban Planning, the Lee-Harvard Master Plan is taking shape. Preserving this neighborhood's distinct identity is paramount, making it crucial for long-standing residents and supporters to contribute their voices and visions for the neighborhood's future.
