Lock 3′s annual summer concert series begins May 25th, and the majority of the concerts are FREE. In addition, FREE parking is available at any of the city-owned parking decks located in downtown Akron. A free evening of musical entertainment sounds good to me!
Location: 200 S Main St Akron, OH 44308 (map)
