AKRON, Ohio -- Akron’s Kenmore Blvd. will be rocking every month during its First Fridays festival events this summer.

It all begins next week on Friday, June 7. The first event will feature local vendors, food, a beer garden and lots of live music. The series is put on by the Kenmore Neighborhood Alliance, and is modeled after the neighborhood’s 2017 “Better Block” events, according to Tina Boyes, the executive director of the alliance.

The June 7 event will include performances every 15 minutes in a variety of venues on Kenmore Blvd., with headlining performances by rock band Mr. Pink and singer-songwriter Charlie Wiener. Other performers include pop-punk band The Super Babes, rapper Flames OhGod and pianist Terry Fairfax.

The event has a “Black and Red Rally” theme, for attendees to dress up and show their Kenmore pride by wearing black and red, Kenmore High School’s colors.

You can find more information about the First Friday event at its Facebook page.
