17 Things to Do in Akron This Weekend (Jul 10–12)

This weekend in Akron, Ohio brings 17 live events across the city — from music to sports to theater. 8 events are 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.
