PearlPalooza 2024

About this event

PearlPalooza is downtown Albany’s highly anticipated, FREE, all-ages music festival. It will return to N Pearl Street for its 15th year in September 2024.

Co-produced by WEQX, the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District, and Sugar Productions, the event features a day of free, open-to-the-public musical performances.

Guests can also enjoy craft beer, cider, and spirits while exploring a variety of high-quality vendors, all steps away from some of downtown Albany’s finest dining, retail, and entertainment establishments. The Capital Region's only street-wide mass yoga event, YogaPalooza, occurs at 11:00 AM, just before the music starts.

Music lineup:

• 12:30 pm: The Sugar Hold
• 1:30 pm: Laveda 
• 2:30 pm: The Ramona Flowers 
• 4:00 pm: Jacob Nowell
• 5:30 pm: Robert Delong
