Celebrate Lakewood's 50th Anniversary
Consultation has concluded
It was a great anniversary.
Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebrations of Lakewood's 50th!
It's time to celebrate 50 amazing years as a city! And while Lakewood's incorporation day was technically June 24, 2019, we’re celebrating with the community all year.
Lakewood's 50th Anniversary is a time to honor our community’s unique history, diverse residents, and those who laid the foundation for incorporation and paved the way for the city's sense of community, culture and inclusiveness. We’ll highlight the early families and visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, staff, volunteers, and of course, the residents who together create and strengthen the community fabric that is Lakewood.
