Akron, Ohio, July 5, 2022 — Beginning tomorrow, July 6, 2022, at 6:00 a.m., Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan intends to lift the curfew which is currently in place for downtown Akron. The curfew will remain in place tonight and absent additional public safety concerns, the curfew will terminate tomorrow morning.

Statement from Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan:

“I want to again thank all those who have protested peacefully in our community over the last several days. Citizens have a right to make their voices heard, and I fully support that. The community respected the curfew which we put in place last night and did not further damage our downtown corridor. I expect tonight to be the same. In an effort to support all those who are peacefully protesting, I plan to lift the curfew in our downtown footprint starting tomorrow. As always, public safety remains our top priority and I urge our community to report any instances or threats of violence or destruction so that a small group of agitators does not cause further damage to our city and small businesses.”
