Yes. Music & Movement (Akron Main) and The Great Akron Kids Costume Celebration are free, going by the official pages. Parking and extras can still cost money.
We go by the town in each listing’s own address, or the library branch for storytimes. Anything with a different town in its address stays on the Akron–Canton pages. Every listing links to the venue’s or organizer’s page, and we only show a date, time or price when that page does. Last checked Oct 30, 2026.
