The Community Events Division processes all applications for area organizations that would like to host an event in the city and acts as the city contact for any community event.  This includes Lock 3. The division also processes all block party applications, oversees the Street Pole Banner Program, showmobile rentals, and coordinates the Summer Concert Series in the parks, the Akron Arts Expo weekend, and the Welcome Santa Holiday Parade.  www.akronohio.gov/cms/communityevents/index.html
