The Euclid Beach Rocket Car made an appearance at the City of University Heights fourth Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 21, at Walter Stinson Community Park. The family-friendly educational and entertaining event featured live music, dance, and spoken word performances on two stages; food and drinks; and vendors, artists, and craftspeople. 

Once a popular ride at Euclid Beach Park, the rocket car can often be spotted around northeast Ohio neighborhoods in the summer months—treating patrons to tours, cruising, and nostalgia.
