Pizza fans will have three days to check out what the Akron area has to offer in hat area, during the Akron Pizza Festival, taking place downtown at the Lock 3 Backyard (Lock 3 itself is undergoing renovation).
They can start during the lunch hour on Friday when admission will be free and the whole focus will be on the food vendors offering both slices and full pies, as well as other types of food. If you work near downtown, make this your lunch stop and bring your office mates.
Both Saturday and Sunday offer more food and music, along with games such as cornhole, bocce and giant Jenga — all free to play. And during the day there’s a designated kids’ area with activities including inflatables. And Saturday at 6pm is the pizza-eating contest; come cheer on the contests. Admission is $5; free for kids under 12
