Downtown Albany
About
PearlPalooza is downtown Albany’s highly anticipated, FREE, all-ages music festival, returning to N Pearl Street for its 15th year in September 2024. Presented by Indian Ladder Farms Cidery & Brewery, Driscoll Foods, and Albany Mechanical Services, and co-produced by WEQX, the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District, and Sugar Productions, the event features a day of musical performances that are free and open to the public.
Guests can also enjoy the best craft beer and cider offerings from official craft beer sponsors Indian Ladder Farms Cidery & Brewery and Brown's Brewing Company, while exploring a variety of high-quality vendors, all just steps away from some of downtown Albany’s finest dining, retail, and entertainment establishments. The Capital Region's only street-wide mass yoga event, YogaPalooza, takes place at 11:00 AM, just before the music kicks off.
