August concerts, movies and farmers’ market in Ballston Spa
BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. » The Ballston Spa Business and Professional Association has presented free summer events for the community for many years.
This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has curtailed the full schedule of concerts and movies, but the month of August will see a return to these events under NYS guidelines.
The Concerts in the Park Series will present concerts on Aug. 6 (Union Fire Company Band), Aug. 13 (The Lustre Kings), Aug. 20 (The Bluebillies) and Aug. 27 (Ballston Spa Community Band). Concerts will be held from 6-8 pm outside in Lions Music Park at the historic Iron Spring Park on Front Street.
The free outdoor Movies in the Park will screen the animated films “Abominable” on Aug. 7 and “Toy Story 4” on Sept. 4. Movies are shown in Wiswall Park on Front Street at dusk (approximately 8:30 pm). Rain dates are the following Saturday evening.
These events are contingent on public gathering restrictions currently in place. Social distancing measures, face masks and limited capacity in the parks for concert and movie spectators are required and will be followed. Event safety plans are posted on the concert and movie webpages on the BSBPA’s website, Ballston.org.
The Ballston Spa Farmers’ Market continues to be held Thursdays from 3-6:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 am-1 pm in Wiswall Park through the end of Sept. Vendors are properly spaced, masks are required for vendors and customers, and social distancing is implemented.
Hand sanitizer will be available to the public at all events.
