Experience Summer in the City

UA faculty, staff, students and retirees can attend FREE summer events!

Through the University’s partnership with the City of Akron, University of Akron faculty, staff, students and retirees will receive a single (1) free admission to many city-sponsored downtown events this summer that require paid admission. To take advantage of these offers, you need only show your Zip Card.

This valuable benefit is part of the growing uArts initiative, which includes year-round free admission to the Akron Art Museum.

In addition, there will be other specially designated "Friends and Family" events to which you and up to three guests will be given free admission; details on those will be announced throughout the summer.
