‘Swooners’ kicks off Market in the Square concert series in Albion on Thursday
ALBION – The Albion Merchants Association will be kicking off a new downtown concert series this Thursday with the band Swooners from Rochester performing jazz and high-energy dance music.
The Merchants Association is using a grant from the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council for a concert series on Thursday evenings. Some of the concerts will be later after the village concert series this summer.
The Merchants is planning a “Market in the Square” with music, a food truck, a farmer with fresh fruits and veggies, sweets and treats, craft vendors and other activities.
The Merchants will use the “Square” on Main Street in the area between Beaver Alley and Bank Street. The group is trying to utilize the street while Main Street over the bridge is closed to traffic for a major lift bridge rehabilitation.
“We are hoping that in the closed off square will create more business downtown,” said Natasha Wasuck, AMA president.
