The Tulip Ball is the highlight of the widely-anticipated Tulip Festival weekend. For 70 years, the City of Albany has hosted this celebration of Albany’s rich history and tradition with a three-day event featuring the annual street scrubbing, the music, arts and crafts festival attended by thousands in the historic Washington Park, and the Royal Tulip Ball. This year’s Ball will include fantastic entertainment, presentations by recipients of grants from the Capital City Fund, and a recognition of the enduring relationship between Albany, New York and Nijmegen, Netherlands.

Proceeds from this year’s Ball will benefit the Capital City Fund, a fund that I created to help nonprofit organizations better serve the people of Albany with effective and innovative programs and services. Grants are awarded in three areas: Community/Culture, Arts, and Education.
