Plan for a night out on the town at the Akron Civic Theatre, one of the last remaining atmospheric theaters in the county. A redesigned movie theater which first opened in the 1920s, the current Civic Theatre is now regarded as one of the best stages for touring Broadway, concert and dance performances in the state.
Akron is well known for its famous All-American Soap Box Derby, the most popular youth soapbox car racing program in the world. This amateur car race draws in hundreds of young competitors to the Derby Downs every year. Cheer for your favorite as they race downhill in their carefully designed and lovingly handcrafted vehicles.
