The Mom & Pop Shoppe, which takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will save shoppers a trek to the mall while offering unique gift choices for mom, dad, grandparents or an upcoming graduate.

The one-day event features distinct gifts made by Akron-area residents. The handcrafted items include everything from aprons, bouquets, bowls and buttons to candies and cards.

Urban Eats will provide food, with Mocha Maiden/Musica providing hot and cold drinks. Local DJ Moose Malloy will add an audio backdrop for attendees.
