Porch Rokr Music Festival
Before the wedding, enjoy a local music fest!! Taking place in Highland Square, you can even visit Conger Avenue where Allison lived during her last year of college. Highland Square’s annual PorchRokr Music and Art Festival transforms the verandas of one of Akron's most historic and eclectic neighborhoods into one-day art studios and concert venues. Thousands of locals and out-of-towners rock out to some 130 diverse musicians and artists, using both area residences and business establishments as their personal stage. The festival rotates each year among four sections of Highland Square to encourage spontaneous interaction among all its neighbors. PorchRokr is Saturday, August 20, 2022.
