2021 Events!

In August 2021, the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce will host a once-in-a-lifetime, multi-day Centennial Celebration commemorating the birth of the National Football League with several large-scale events, including – for the first time – holding TWO Enshrinements, for the Centennial Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021, in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The Centennial Celebration kicks off on the campus of the Hall with the 2021 Hall of Fame Game, featuring the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers, followed by four straight days of Centennial Celebration events in Canton including the Fashion Show, Enshrinees’ Gold Jacket Ceremony, Enshrinees’ Roundtable, The Canton Repository Grand Parade, and 2021 Concert for Legends, featuring Brad Paisley and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

A Note About The Drum Corps Show: Drum Corps International and Bluecoats recently announced that a drum corps show will be hosted in the Akron / Canton region on Monday, August 9th. While this event will not officially be a part of the Enshrinment Festival, we are excited for the return of the Bluecoats and a show in this region! For more information visit Bluecoats website.
