Lock 3 is a fantastic place for concerts. It is an outdoor venue located right next to the Akron Civic Theater on a Lock/water way. There is a large lawn area and most people bring their own folding chairs or blankets to sit on. There are a few permanent benches but you would have to get there really early to get those. There are also paved areas off to one side of the amphitheater that serve as a balcony type area for your folding chairs. There are food and alcohol/beverage trucks. There is also a building that sells food and alcohol/beverages and this building has real bathrooms in it. There are also port a potties. The sound is excellent and most concerts are free. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance. I LOVE Lock 3.

Lock 3 is some of the best Akron has to offer. In the winter there is a huge outdoor skating rink as well as indoor putt putt golf. This year they added hover bumper boat things which look like a lot of fun. There is also an indoor area to sit and have snacks and talk. The best part about Lock 3 is that it is a cheap easy place to meet friends and have a fun evening for the whole family. Everyone should go at least once this winter (and again I'm not sure the summer!) *****There is a ton of construction downtown but don't let that stop you. The O'niel parking deck is still accessable and is easy to get to if you come down University Ave.*****

2023 Winterfest at Lock 3. I understand there is some type of construction taking place at the "original" location but this years venue is not great. The activities on offer are super fun, but having it set up under a bridge and having construction materials in the background does spoil the atmosphere. All the staff were super helpful and pleasant, but finding the concession restaurant is quite a challenge and not very well sign posted. Our grandkids had a great time, but it was a poor reflection from years past.

Lock 3 is so much fun! We went to see A Hard Day's Night - we hadn't been in a few years to the Rock the Lock. Good selection of beers to choose from (two types of Thirsty Dog on draft, Mike's Harder, etc.) And there were a few food trucks this weekend. I ordered from Stray Dog and got a vegan Italian and it was *chef's kisses* If you go to Rock the Lock bring a chair and a blanket and spend the evening here - it's so much fun. Easy parking in garages nearby!

Last night, Hot Blooded (Foreigner Tribute) and Escape (Journey Tribute) played to a packed house at The temporary Lock 3 venue behind the Civic Theater. The city is reconstructing the old lock 3. Both bands played fantastic shows and sounded much like the original bands they covered.
