Art in the Square is the perfect festival for Highland Square residents and neighboring areas to celebrate the arts and all things Akron. Musical performances are scheduled from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. across three outdoor stages and several indoor venues. In the past, activities at Art in the Square have included tai chi, yoga, storytelling, chalk-art contests, burger-eating contests and pet beauty pageants. While planning is still underway for this year’s festivities, festival-goers can expect a packed day. Art in the Square has been a breeding ground for the arts in the eclectic Highland Square — last year’s event attracted nearly 10,000 people. www.ilovethesquare.org
