Powers Park Concert Series
Begins July 11, 2009

Powers Park was once the venue of weekend activities around the turn of the 20th Century. Since 2004, the crowds at the historic city park have returned every Saturday evening to see the best in local entertainment on the Neil Kelleher Stage at Powers Park.

Over the past five seasons, the concert series has seen a huge spike of popularity. In part due to the festive atmosphere at the weekly shows, along with showcasing some of the finest entertainment the Capital District has to offer. With a full array of festival foods, and great music, the concert series has become a mainstay of the community, as well as the entire city.

Weekly 50/50 raffles which benefit charitable causes have greatly enhanced organizations including, the Uncle Sam Parade, Lansingburgh Little League, Lansingburgh Boys and Girls Club, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Adding to the weekly excitement, trips to Walt Disney World, Graceland, Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and a Cruise to Nowhere, have been provided over the past few seasons by Lansingburgh's Meissner Travel.

The shows are presented by the City of Troy. They are supported in part by, Whitney Young Health Center, Northeast Shuttle, Beverage Barn, Troy Uniformed Firefighters Association, Meissner Travel, Pip's Athletic Lounge, Tri City Valley Cats. Badass Burrito. Media sponsors are, The Record, B95.5FM & Magic100.9fm.
