PNC Plaza at the Civic is an outdoor public space located in downtown Akron, directly adjacent to the historic Civic Theatre. The plaza was created as part of a larger revitalization project for the area completed in 2004. It serves as a venue for community events, concerts, and public gatherings. The space is designed to accommodate sizable crowds and includes paved areas, landscaping, and connections to surrounding pedestrian walkways. It's a popular location for free summer concert series and festivals organized by various entities throughout the year. The plaza’s design aims to integrate modern functionality with the architectural style of the neighboring Civic Theatre which originally opened in 1927.
