Come celebrate and assist as we grow! The Big Love Network‘s new project, Akron City Repair, facilitates an inclusive process of community coming together to activate and/or reclaim a piece of the public domain for the needs they have identified.

We are looking to raise some funds, resources, and talents for our four-day placemaking festival, Love On Akron, September 16-19 at The Well Community Development Corporation! Love On Akron is the accumulation of the work done throughout the summer from Big Love Network’s Akron City Repair Project. Love On Akron will be implementing the designs of Oakdale/Crosby, E. Market/Arlington, Howard/North, and Long/Edison. Evening programing will be provided at The We…ll CDC.

Entrance: $5

Let’s share a meal, enjoy music and get to understand each other!

Music by Zach and more to be announced soon!

Get a taste of Akron’s first street mural the following day, August 14th, at the intersection of Long and Edison with the Summit Lake Community!

♥ Big Love started out as a transformational festival for and by Akron and has learned much in the last three years of throwing this festival:

1. That our web of artists, gardeners/permaculturists, and healing practitioners are a network that help each other all year round.

2. That not only do we all do our own forms of community organizing but we are also fundamentally placemakers.

3. We are not just here to throw a transformational festival once a year but to help facilitate the transformation of Akron.
