This year the downtown block party in Albany takes place on September 2nd. The event is free and open to all ages, though it should be noted that some things at the event cost money, such as beer, food from food trucks, and an entry fee if you want to enter the cornhole tournament.

Sponsored by a long list of awesome local businesses including Greyhound Tavern, this is the event's second year, and they're kicking it up a notch by bringing in more bands, an outdoor roller rink, more food trucks, vendors, and family activities.
