Akimbo is an excellent opportunity for guests to explore the Station North Arts District. Participants in the festival can begin their experience at Akimbo by grabbing a map at the information booth at the Ynot Lot (located at the corner of N.

From 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. performances will be held at the North/West sites. From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. performances will be held at the South/West sites. From 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. there will be an all-inclusive Dance Jam where audience, dancers and musicians can join together for an improvisational hour of dance and movement art. Akimbo is a free event.
