About this event

Gather with the community at Hattie’s Culinary Lab on Friday, May 8th, for the prestigious Tulip Festival Luncheon. Beginning at 1:00 p.m.—immediately following the traditional Street Scrubbing ceremony—this elegant afternoon serves as a formal farewell and "thank you" to the 2025 Albany Tulip Queen, Abigail Williams, and her dedicated Court for their year of service to the City of Albany.

Beyond the celebration, this event serves a vital local cause. All proceeds from the luncheon directly benefit the Tulip Court’s educational programs via the Capital City Fund, a component of the United Way of the Greater Capital Region. It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a premier culinary experience while investing in the future of our city’s youth and community outreach.

Please note that tickets are required for entry and must be purchased in advance. To secure your seat at the table and support this year's educational initiatives, please email tulipball@albanyny.gov for registration and payment details.
