The free concert and celebration, starring Randy Houser, Tyler Farr, and more, is set for September 20.

Albany is getting ready to raise a toast to our heroes. The Red, White & Brew Festival is back for its second year on Saturday, September 20, bringing a full day of free, family-friendly fun to South Pearl Street right outside MVP Arena.

This community celebration honors our nation’s veterans with live music, local food and vendors, and an electric outdoor atmosphere—all completely free to attend.

The party kicks off at 2 PM with a performance from local country favorites Tame the Rooster, followed by a high-energy set from Tyler Farr, known for country hits like "Redneck Crazy” and "A Guy Walks Into a Bar.” Headlining the evening is chart-topping country powerhouse Randy Houser, performing fan favorites like "How Country Feels” and "Boots On.”

This event is made possible through support from Albany County, MVP Health Care, and the Innovation Partnership, who are proud to celebrate those who’ve served with a day of community connection, gratitude, and entertainment.

Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy shared, “Veterans and their families gave us such positive feedback last year—it’s a privilege to bring this celebration back. The Red, White & Brew Festival is a small way to say thank you with great music, food, and community spirit.”

Augusta Martin, MVP Health Care’s Chief Market Strategy and Product Officer, added, “This event reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful experiences that foster connection and well-being. We’re proud to stand with Albany County in celebrating our veterans.”

So mark your calendars for September 20, and come out for a day of music, memories, and patriotic pride. For event updates and details, visit www.mvparena.com or follow @themvparena on social media.
