Akron's newest holiday is ready for take-off 🚀

At Mayor Malik's State of the City Address last week, he announced a BRAND-NEW holiday for the City of Akron--Blimp Day! In partnership with Goodyear, two Goodyear Blimps will fly over all 24 neighborhoods of Akron from 9am to Noon on Saturday, June 6. We're so excited to start this new annual tradition with this Akron icon. Full map with flyover times coming soon!
