Don your finest tweed attire and join us for a bicycle tour of Albany’s National Historic Districts!
This event starts at The Natty Dresser, 124 Broadalbin St SW.
Arrive by 9:30 am to enter the costume and best bike contests. The ride starts at 10 am. The tour will stop occasionally to talk about menswear and the historic buildings and sights along the way. Bring a cup if it looks like it is going to be a warm day as there will be a water break along the way.
The ride ends at the Deluxe Brewery where they will be hosting their annual Vintage Bicycle Show and Swap Meet.
Food and drink will be available for purchase at the brewery, but riders are also welcome to bring a picnic lunch to the ride, as the brewery allows outside food.
Since 2007, the town has hosted Stand By Me Day, a celebration of the 1986 coming-of-age film that was primarily shot in the city.
The Committee has been busy making plans and rounding up volunteers to bring you a full slate of fun! There will be guided walking tours, a fan forum with videos, 50’s car Cruise In, Food trucks, a visit from Ima Blueberry and, of course, a down and dirty Blueberry Pie Eating Contest.
Join the fun between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm at Library Park in beautiful Downtown Brownsville. Check here for more information.
