‘Light Up Akron’ Indoor activities stay on schedule

Some activities are continuing as planned today, December 11, despite cancellation of much of “Light of Akron” due to a forecast of potentially dangerous winds. Updates from the Akron Chamber of Commerce indicate that Akron First United Methodist Church will still hold their cookie sale Saturday morning as well as their drive-through spaghetti dinner and basket raffle. The Chamber also reports that Akron Merchants have decided they want to continue with Moonlight Shopping. They will be open until 8 p.m. Saturday evening. The Village of Akron Public Safety Team cancelled all outdoor “Light up Akron” activities planned December 11, 2021 due to the potential damaging winds. Efforts are underway to reschedule the outdoor part of the celebration. Details to be announced.
