Wake Up To Beacon Farmers' Market!

Every Saturday morning at Lock 3, Akron wakes up to fresh food and great fun! Starting July 26, Home Grown Saturday Mornings feature the Beacon Farmers Market, where fresh produce, home-baked goods, live cooking demonstrations and games for the kids get the weekend off to a tasty start!

Plus, each week features special events, including walking tours of historic downtown, toy marble making, trolley tours and more!

Every Saturday, WAKR's Tom Dayton broadcasts live 8:00am–10:00am, and a pancake breakfast fills everyone's stomach from 8:30–11:00am. And admission is FREE! Which means Home Grown Saturday Mornings at Lock 3 are the perfect way to wake up the whole family.
