Embracing Diversity

Greater Akron rests upon a foundation built by the contributions and opinions of our diverse citizenry. We extend an open invitation to the LGBTQ community to experience and enjoy everything our area has to offer.

Discover Akron’s Northside 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 activity; or 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, www.canapi.org) for further information on events and programs in the area.
