Summer is starting to fade away and fall is sweeping in like a crisp breeze. While summer in Albany is all about outdoor live music performances and county fairs, fall brings festivals and major events alongside fun at farms with apple picking, corn mazes, and activities for the whole family.
Jazz it Up at Jennings Landing
The annual Riverfront Jazz Festival, happening on September 8th, always brings in a diverse group of talented jazz artists. This year they're partnering up with Zero Waste Capital District for the first time!
September in the City returns! Every Thursday afternoon throughout the month of September you can look forward to live music and local art and culture in downtown Albany's DiNapoli Park.
If you're looking for fall fun, you must make it a priority to stop by Ellms Family Farm in Ballston Spa this season. They have dozens of on-site activities from a corn maze to a jumping pillow to the Pumpkin Express and more.
Wine tastings, apple treats, arts and crafts, a car show, kids activities, and more - it must be the Capital Region Apple & Wine Festival! This must-attend event returns September 15th and 16th in Altamont.
Albany and the surrounding Capital Region come alive in the fall with vivid foliage, exciting festivals, delicious comfort food, and more. Check it all out in the Albany Fall Guide.
Apple picking is the quintessential fall activity to enjoy with your family. From macs to honey crisp, there's a wide variety to be found at Albany area orchards.
