Akron, OH Events

Akron is the largest city in Summit County and the only one with a community drill-down on Akron Pulse — 24 City-recognized communities stretching from Merriman Valley in the north to Coventry Crossing in the south, anchored by downtown's Civic Theatre / Lock 3 / Knight Center cluster. Built by the rubber industry between 1910 and 1920 (Goodyear, Firestone, BFGoodrich, General Tire all started here) and reshaped over the last decade by the University of Akron, Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Bridgestone Americas, and a renewed Reach Akron / Civic Commons investment in the southern lakefront.
