Alive at Five 2018 - Albany's Annual Summer Concert Series
Alive at Five is the City of Albany's premier free summer concert series! Every Thursday evening in the summer (except July 5), distinguished national, regional, and local artists bring their best performances to this popular annual event.
What You Should Know:
Don't miss the Alive at Five outdoor summer concert series this year on Thursdays from June 7 - August 2, 2018 (except July 5) from 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Concerts happen at Jennings Landing (at the Albany Corning Preserve), with a rain location of the Corning Preserve Boat Launch.
Since a summer party isn't complete without ice cold beer, lemonade, and a great BBQ, local vendors are always on hand selling plenty of food and drinks to attendees.
