On Tuesday, the City of Akron announced Lock 3's schedule for July, sharing news of upcoming concerts, movies in the park and pop-up events.
According to a release, the Akron venue will host yoga and fitness classes every Tuesday in July, summer concerts by original bands every Wednesday, and the classic Friday night 'Rock the Lock' concert series featuring tribute bands.
Akron officials also announced a new 'alternative' series for July, held in partnership with jenY 107.3, which will offer visitors drinks, food, games and music every Thursday night throughout the month.
Of course, the summer wouldn't be complete without Akron's famous movie nights. This year, the city will hold a series of movies that will be played not just at the Lock 3 venue, but across the city.
