Downtown Akron gets the jump on Cleveland in kicking off the holiday season. Cleveland’s Winterland on Public Square takes place Saturday November 6, but Akron’s Winterblast 22 happens on Friday November 25. So a dedicated holiday celebrater could go to both!
Akron’s event features an illuminated “Welcome Santa” holiday parade at 6pm on Main Street between Cedar and Bowery. That will be followed by the traditional tree-lighting and the always-popular fireworks.
Also launching that day with the assortment of activities offered at Lock 3 all winter to bring people downtown for a day of fun, including ice skating, ice bumper cars, polar putt-putt and ice bikes. Heated igloos and firepits are available on weekends throughout the season. Check Lock 3’s schedule for “Breakfast with Santa” events too!
