October 9 – October 11, 2026 · 22 events
This weekend in Akron, Ohio brings 22 live events across the city — from music. 1 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
Akron's musical pedigree is shockingly deep for a rubber town — Devo, Chrissie Hynde, and The Black Keys all came up here. The Akron Civic Theatre, a 1929 atmospheric movie palace with stars twinkling in its ceiling, anchors downtown with concerts, comedy, and community events. Just north in Cuyahoga Falls, Blossom Music Center serves as the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra and a major shed for touring acts, set in a wooded bowl within the national park. E.J. Thomas Hall at the University of Akron adds classical and touring performances, while neighborhood festivals like Highland Square's art-and-music gatherings keep the local scene scrappy and proud.
