The charm of downtown Albany

Much of Broadway-Albany is less than a mile from downtown Albany's oddity museums, community theaters and specialized boutiques.

The Pix Theatre is a renowned movie theater with a single screen, creating a distinctive local atmosphere for the film. Loafers Station is an extravagant pub and café serving sandwiches and lunch items in a dark sports bar atmosphere. Sybaris Bistro provides a fine dining experience in an upscale steakhouse with a vast wine selection.

Sheep at the Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival

The community gathers at Monteith Riverpark to hear Summer Sounds and River Rhythms, two recurring summer concerts in July and August. Dozens of hot air balloons float through the sky as artists sell their work below at the Northwest Art and Air Festival in Timber-Linn Park. During Heritage Day, horse-drawn carriages ride around the grounds while bluegrass bands play, and vendors sell old-fashioned crafts in an open-air market in June. Yarn, wool products, and livestock are up for sale at the Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival in the Linn County Expo Center, one of Albany's most significant event venues.

Even though Albany is a suburban city, you can still find active farming and livestock.
