Parking: Worried about parking? Don't be! You can pre-purchase parking at www.uakronpark.com. Give your license plate during purchase and park just like a student passholder in any commuter lot. We recommend parking in lot 37 (you can put that right into your GPS), but you can park in most lots near to Buchtel common and enjoy an easy walk to the Student Union. Handicap accessible spots and a ramp are available in Lot 18, to the left of Lot 37, right outside the student union doors.

Monday, Dec 2 from 2 to 7 p.m. in the Jean Hower Taber Student Union.
Announcing 'A ZipsGuide shop small & local Holiday Market,' a holiday shop, featuring vendors from around the 330 (and maybe a little further). The market is Monday, Dec. 2 from 2 to 7 p.m. in The University of Akron's Jean Hower Taber Student Union at 303 Carroll Street, Akron.
ZipsGuide.com and UA's Campus Programs have joined forces to produce this shop-local showcase where students, the community, and locally-based small businesses can come together one for big, awesome shopportunity.
As part of the ZipsGuide project, which allows students to collaborate directly with Downtown Akron Partnership as a hands-on learning experience with community impact, the market's mission is twofold:
First, it aims to connect the Akron community directly with the students by inviting the community into the heart of campus.
Second, it aims to serve as a booster for small businesses, enterpreneurs and new and established crafters, creators and makers in the region, where holiday markets are often waitlist only. There is no space/table fee for vendors interested in participating and no fee for community members who come to shop. Outside of parking, this event, sponsored by Student Affairs is no-cost and open and accessible to all.
ZipsGuide.com is a team comprised of students from the Fall 2024 PR Writing and PR Strategic Campaigns courses at The University of Akron, Akron Community Internship Program interns and editor, professor Julie Cajigas. The student team is the driving force behind the event, gaining hands-on experience by conducting research, planning and implementing a communication campaign, and collaborating with others on event planning and logistics.
Vendors and hands-on crafts are still being added to the market. The ZipsGuide.com student team would like to encourage fellow student makers to apply to vend at the event.
Please check back for updates, a complete vendor list and more info as it becomes available.
>>Did You Know that parking at UA is easier than ever? With several lots in easy walking distance from our student union building, parking in any of our commuter lots can now be prepaid with your license plate at www.uakronpark.com, or purchased using a QR code on your mobile device the day of the event.
