History
For a century, the business district along Abrams Road and Gaston Avenue has been the heart and soul of the Lakewood and East Dallas communities.
Anchored by a rich history dating back to the founding of Lakewood Country Club in 1912, the construction of the original shops in 1924, and the opening of the iconic Lakewood Theater in 1938, this vibrant area continues to thrive as a hub for commerce, culture, and community.

THE FUTURE
A New Chapter for a Beloved District
We are excited to introduce Historic Lakewood Shops, a dedicated initiative to celebrate, support, and grow awareness of the district’s more than 100 unique businesses.
With a fresh new brand and an exciting lineup of events, we’re bringing the community together like never before.
WHAT IS COMING
Year-Round Events + More!
The district has hosted Light Up Lakewood, the neighborhood's tree lighting and holiday festival for more than 20 years.
In 2024, we added the Lakewood Tower Farmers Market, which runs from 9:00am to 1:00pm every Sunday from February to December.
This year, we are adding tons of new events for you to enjoy. Art shows, movies under the stars, pop-up markets, live music, silent discos, children's book readings, and more!
