City Council approves summer concert series at Crandall Park for 2025

The City of Glens Falls is set to host its fifth annual summer concert series at Crandall Park, running from June 6 to August 8, 2025. The Board of Public Safety approved the resolution during their meeting on May 14, 2025, ensuring that residents can enjoy live music every Thursday evening from 7 PM to 9 PM.

The concert series will feature a city-permitted food vendor, which will operate from the side parking lot of the park. However, the approval is contingent upon the event holder providing an updated Certificate of Insurance (COI), which is required annually. City officials emphasized the importance of having all necessary documentation in place before the event, including permits for food vendors.

Board members discussed the need for a streamlined process to ensure that all food vendors participating in the concert series provide their permits and insurance documentation. This proactive approach aims to prevent any last-minute issues that could jeopardize the event. The board agreed that it is essential for the event organizer to submit these documents ahead of time, ensuring compliance and safety for all involved.

As the summer concert series approaches, city officials are committed to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for attendees, highlighting the importance of community events in fostering local engagement and culture. The concert series promises to be a vibrant addition to the summer calendar, bringing together residents and visitors alike for evenings of music and camaraderie in the heart of Glens Falls.
