SummerNight return date announced for July in Schenectady; Headlining act still to be named

Apr. 20—SCHENECTADY — Schenectady County has slated SummerNight to take place on July 22 this year.

However, who will be playing the music festival is still unknown.

"We look forward to hosting this free event that draws visitors from all over the Capital Region to our community," said Legislator Cathy Gatta. "Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks — you won't be disappointed!"

The county confirmed earlier this month that the event would be back after a two-year hiatus due to covid.

The block party started 17 years ago and draws upwards of 20,000 people to downtown Schenectady for an evening of live music, food and family-friendly activities.

The event has been host to national acts such as Smash Mouth, Spin Doctors and Blues Traveler.
