A month-long version of Tulip Festival kicks off next week with in-person tulip tours and virtual entertainment.
The festival traditionally takes place on Mother’s Day weekend and attracts thousands of people from the Capital Region and beyond to downtown Albany. For the second year in a row, because of the pandemic, organizers have had to create a virtual version of the festival.
“Last year, when the pandemic first hit we left the offices around March 16th or 17th. We really didn’t know what was going to happen and we decided that we were going to do a Tulip Festival Day video,” said Ryan Murray, public relations coordinator for the Office of Cultural Affairs in Albany.
