Rockin' On The River
Chad W. Lutz
It’s springtime in Ohio: the trees are budding, the leaves are greening and the guitars are shredding. Returning to the Cuyahoga Falls Riverfront is the Summer Concert Series beginning May 25, 2012. New to the festivities include a street fair for local food and arts venders. Artisans and foodies bring local flare to the already buzzing river front in what promises to be yet another record-breaking year. During the Ekoostik Hookah concert during July 4th weekend last year nearly 100,000 people gathered to watch the Ohio-based jam band rock the stage. Rockin’ on the River also partnered with Akron’s 91.3 The Summit to bring national acts to the Riverfront in addition to the colorful blend of cover acts the rock n’ roll festival boasts each year. After party events will be held at Brubaker’s Pub following all concerts. The list below provides concert information for the 2012 schedule:
