Summit County has recently seen a spike in COVID-19 cases following the Halloween holiday. Before gathering for holidays, remember that if you aren’t feeling well it’s best to stay home. You can also get a rapid test for COVID-19 at many local pharmacies. To find a testing site near you please click here. 

“Thanksgiving provides us with the perfect time to pause and give thanks for all of the blessings we experience daily. As we safely gather with family and friends in the spirit of this holiday, may we be grateful for all that we have and share that gratitude with those we hold dear. I'm wishing all of Akron a very happy and safe holiday," said Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan.

After the holiday, residents are encouraged to shop local on Saturday, Nov. 27 for Small Business Saturday. This year, with supply chain shortages and expected delivery delays, there’s no better time than ever to spend your money at locally owned businesses for holiday gifts. From our Great Streets Districts to Downtown to all of our local restaurants and breweries, there are plenty of options to get a great gift or gift card at a small business near you.
