If you're looking for an awesome event to wrap up your summer, you can't do better than the second annual Albany Downtown Block Party in Albany, Oregon. This event is a free community event and features beer, a cornhole tournament, and live music featuring several bands including hit 90's alt rock band Everclear.
Albany's Downtown Block Party 2023
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.
Downtown block party tip: Skip the line by pre-buying your drink tickets online before the event.
Parking will be limited at the event site. Instead of trying to find parking at the event, head to I-5 Sports and use their parking lot. A shuttle will take you from I-5 Sports to the Linn County Courthouse. The shuttle runs the day of the event from 3PM - 10:30 PM.
