The Green Island Gazebo (GIG for short) has announced its 2023 Summer lineup, marking the 20th year of the concert series. Located just north of Albany and across the river from Troy, the village’s venue plans to hold concerts from July 5 until August 30.
Set up in River Park on the north end of Hudson Avenue, GIG’s summer concert series has been a free event supporting local artists and the community for years, additionally hosting the Festival of Trees in December.
Through nine different shows including unique themes, food specials, and local talents, the venue’s packed schedule for Wednesday nights will surely entertain those of all ages.
When it comes to available food options, volunteers prepare and serve the meals to attendees, along with a group of bakers who donate their products to the concert-goers.
A lot of the same bands also reappear from last year’s lineup, setting up even more familiar faces for the local crowd.
All concerts take place at the River Park Gazebo on Hudson Ave. In the event of rain, events will continue at a different location under the Collar City Bridge on Hudson Avenue.
