This Saturday September 19, 2009, from 10:00am – 5:30pm, Albany’s “village in the city” continues to present the biggest and best street festival in the region Larkfest 2009! This festival features 5 stages showcasing live music and entertainment, an expanded family activity area, and a wide variety of vendors and food from our local restaurants.

The DJ and musician Moby will headline this year’s LarkFest. Also on the bill for the daylong Albany festival are Irish rockers Bell X1, Brooklyn-based synth-pop duo Matt & Kim and the Chicago indie band Company of Thieves. The lineups were announced this morning by the Lark Street Business Improvement District, organizer of the 28 year old festival. Other main-stage bands announced by radio station WEQX, a co-sponsor of LarkFest, are Queer for AstroBoy, Lunic, The Burnham Bros. and Ten Year Vamp.

Closing off the entire Lark Street, this is one of Albany’s largest and most anticipated events with 70,000 people expected to attend this year! There will be free entertainment and fun activities for the entire family. Visual arts, music, poetry, magic acts, dancing and great food were just a few of the many highlights of last year’s Larkfest in Albany, NY.

For the second year, LarkFest will be expanded onto Washington Avenue from Lark Street to Henry Johnson Boulevard. That section of the street will be closed for the day, as will Lark from Washington to Madison Avenue.

PARKING is available at the East Garage on Madison Street and Eagle Street.
