LorMet Backs Lorain International Festival as Lead Sponsor

Since 1936, LorMet Community Credit Union has proudly grown alongside the resilient individuals and families of Lorain County. LorMet was originally chartered to serve the hardworking steel mill employees at the heart of Lorain’s industrial boom. The mill not only shaped the region’s economy but also helped forge the rich cultural diversity that continues to define Lorain County today.

Nearly nine decades later, LorMet has evolved into the leading lender in Lorain County while staying true to its community-first mission. As a member-owned financial cooperative, LorMet now serves over 21,000 members and manages more than $265 million in assets. Its field of membership extends throughout Lorain County as well as into Bay Village, Rocky River, and Westlake, Ohio.

As the credit union continues to expand its services and strengthen its impact, LorMet remains guided by the values of trust, inclusivity, and mutual support that have defined it from the beginning. The organization’s deep roots in the community inform every initiative, from scholarships for local high school students to sponsoring local events like Rockin’ on the River, and now the Lorain International Festival.

The Lorain International Festival is an event that reflects the very heart of the Lorain community. What began as a local celebration has grown into a cherished regional tradition, honoring the many nationalities and heritages that have shaped Lorain’s identity. The festival is a testament to the pride, resilience, and unity of its people.
