The Akron Symphony Orchestra’s Night at the Races is back for its second year, and this event promises to be an absolute blast! Set for November 1, 2024, at the vibrant cabaret of House Three Thirty, this evening is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a full-fledged party where the community comes together for fun and philanthropy.

From the moment doors open at 6 PM, the excitement is palpable. Imagine a room full of friendly competition as attendees place bets on their favorite horses, hoping to win big while supporting one of Akron’s finest cultural institutions.

Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or a first-time race enthusiast, the atmosphere is inclusive, energetic, and full of good vibes.

What makes this event extra special? It’s not just about the thrill of the races—it’s also a chance to enjoy delicious food and drinks, socialize with fellow music lovers, and contribute to a meaningful cause. It’s an official Akron Symphony Orchestra event where casual attire is the dress code, and cowboy hats and boots are completely optional. Proceeds from the evening go directly to supporting the Akron Symphony Orchestra, helping to ensure that they can continue offering extraordinary performances and educational programs for the community.

To top it off, you can get even more involved by sponsoring a horse, which adds
a fun personal touch to the evening. The races might be simulated, but the excitement is very real—and so is the impact you can make. If you’re looking for
a unique way to spend a Friday night, while supporting local arts, this event
should be at the top of your list.

Tickets are on sale now with only a few weeks left. If you want to be part of one
of Akron’s most entertaining nights of the year, make sure you grab yours soon!

You can find all the details and purchase your tickets by visiting Night at the
Races or akronsymphony.org.

Mark your calendars, place your bets, and let’s race to support the symphony!
