The Akron-Summit Convention & Visitors Bureau has launched the 2026 Drip Drive, inviting residents and visitors to explore 22 locally owned coffee shops throughout Summit County.
Now in its seventh year, the popular promotion encourages participants to support small businesses by collecting stamps with purchases at participating locations. Coffee lovers can pick up a free passport at any participating shop or complete a digital version online. A minimum of 18 stamps is required to finish the drive.
Completed passports can be submitted to the ASCVB offices or the Akron Art Museum to receive a limited-edition Drip Drive coffee mug and entry into a $500 grand prize package featuring coffee, merchandise and gift cards from participating businesses.
