Annual Events & Festivals
Due to the current restrictions put in place due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) by Governor Cuomo, many of the annual events and festivals have been reimagined as virtual or socially-distanced events.
Every year in Albany begins with a celebration of the region's evolving culinary scene. As flowers begin to bloom, Albany honors the city's treasured tulips & Dutch roots. During the summer, live music and festivals fill the weekends. As the leaves begin to change, Albany gets in on the hocus pocus with spooky stories and nightmarish thrills. The end of the year is capped off with merriment and holiday celebrations. Explore a small selection of Albany's annual events and festivals!
