This FREE, family-friendly celebration honors our nation’s veterans with a full day of live music, local vendors, delicious food, and unforgettable entertainment.

Festivities kick off at 2 PM with a performance by local country favorite Whiskey City, setting the tone for an action-packed afternoon.  The energy continues to build with a set local boys Bro Country, followed by an unforgettable set from national recording artist Grace Tyler.

This year’s headliner, multi-Platinum selling artist Lee Brice, will close out the event with his chart-topping hits like “Parking Lot Party,” “One of Them Girls” and “Hard to Love." The award-winning Country superstar is slated to release his latest album, Sunriser, and its deluxe edition, Sunriser (All-Nighter) on October 2nd. With a lineup like this, Red, White & Brew promises to deliver an electrifying experience from start to finish.

This FREE event would not be possible without the support of Albany County, MVP Health Care, and the Innovation Partnership.  Thank you to Upstate Chevy Dealers, Air National Guard, WNYT, and Family Danz for their support of the event.
