Digital Content Producer at News 5 Cleveland
Days after shots were fired following the fireworks celebration at Macedonia 's SummerFest celebration, the mayor's office announced that future seasonal festivals would be put on hold.
The incident prompted Mayor Nick Molnar's administration to pause similar seasonal events going forward to keep the community safe."Normally at this time, I would be writing to you to celebrate a wonderful"Summerfest" event and how much fun was had by all. Unfortunately, this year, a few people have tarnished a tradition that Macedonia has held dear for decades.
While I am certainly disappointed with what took place, my resolve to improve our community events is something I regard highly, and that remains. We have already begun extensive meetings and discussions about the future and what that may look like. We will continue communicating the City's conclusions regarding these events, which will always keep its focus on providing our residents with fun and safe programming their families can enjoy.
The number of issues at the festival increased to the point where deputies working the festival called for mutual aid from the Ohio State Highway Patrol and multiple neighborhood police departments. Minor injuries were reported, including one deputy who was working.
