Things To Do
Troy Waterfront Farmers Market (Summer)
This is one of our favorite parts of living in Troy. The farmers market gets the entire city out and about. Great food, drinks, crafts, and other vendors in the heart of Downtown Troy. Excellent dog watching, too! 9am-2pm rain or shine on Saturday mornings
TulipFestival
Tulip Fest is one of the biggest events Albany, NY is known for. Washington Park will have 100k+ tulips in bloom on Saturday and Sunday May 9-10 along with live music, food and events!
Thacher State Park
Beautiful state park right near Indian Ladder!
