About this event
One of Albany's favorite neighborhood traditions returns this fall as the Upper Madison Street Fair takes over Madison Avenue on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from noon to 5:00 PM.
The annual event transforms the street into a lively celebration of local culture, featuring music, art, dance, games, and hands-on activities for all ages. Visitors can explore a diverse mix of vendors, merchants, community organizations, and entertainers throughout the afternoon.
Families will find plenty to enjoy in the free Kids Zone, where children can participate in activities designed to keep them engaged and entertained. Adults can join in the fun too, with opportunities to create art, play chess or ping pong, learn new dance moves, and connect with neighbors.
The fair is known for showcasing the energy and creativity of the surrounding community while highlighting the unique businesses and organizations that make the neighborhood special. Each year, attendees gather to celebrate what organizers call "City Living at Its Best."
Organizers are currently welcoming vendors, performers, nonprofits, and volunteers interested in participating. Whether you're planning to attend or get involved, the Upper Madison Street Fair promises an afternoon filled with entertainment, community spirit, and local flavor.
