EMBRACING DIVERSITY

GREATER AKRON RESTS UPON A FOUNDATION built by contributions and opinions of our diverse citizenry. We extend an open invitation to the LGBTQ+ community to experience and enjoy everything our area offers.

Discover Akron’s Northside/Marketplace District, a collection of restored buildings, galleries and restaurants on the northern edge of downtown. Stop by High Street and Maiden Lane, both of which offer spots for casual fun and creative activities. Visit Highland Square, an eclectic neighborhood west of downtown Akron that’s packed with unique shopping and dining options.

While we know interests within the community differ, below is a sampling of LGBTQ+ friendly sites. Be sure to contact the Akron Pride Initiative (759 W. Market St., Akron 44303, 330.252.1559, canapi.org) for more information on events and programs in the area.
