Heavy Traffic and Increased Parking Usage in Downtown Albany between 10/25/2024 – 10/27/2024

October 21, 2024

Please be aware that starting on Friday 10/25/2024 through Sunday 10/27/2024, there will be heavy traffic and increased parking usage throughout Downtown Albany due to a number of large events taking place, including 3 Nights of Phish Concerts taking place at the MVP Arena.

Because of the number of guests attending this and other events taking place during this time period, we anticipate longer than normal lines at the entry/exits at all of our downtown parking facilities; the Green-Hudson Garage, the Riverfront Garage, the Quackenbush Garage, and the Quackenbush Parking Lot. We anticipate that the Green-Hudson Garage and Quackenbush Parking Lot will reach capacity in the afternoon on Friday 10/25/2024 and remain busy throughout the weekend.

During these dates, ParkAlbany will have special event parking rates in effect at all 3 of our parking garage locations, and payment will be required upon entering the garages. Please note that Monthly Parking Pass and Permit holders will still have normal access to their monthly parking location using their parking credentials.
