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)

I’ve never been to a concert at Lock 3 before, but would love to hear from someone who has.  Leave a comment below to let us know what to expect.
