Updates made to changes in ‘Light up Akron’

Some activities will continue as planned, 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 still be open until 8 p.m. Saturday evening.

The Village of Akron Public Safety Team cancelled all “Light up Akron” activities planned December 11, 2021 due to the anticipated damaging high wind event forecasted to impact our area on Saturday.

This includes the AMP Chicken BBQ, Elementary Chorus Concert and Santa Band, Tree lighting and Light Parade.
