Night: Troy Night Out
TROY — Looking for something fun to do with the entire family on Friday evening? Here’s an idea: head on over to downtown Troy for Troy Night Out on Friday, Aug. 26, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Coordinated by the Downtown Troy Business Improvement District, this month’s event will not only help to mark the city’s bicentennial, but also celebrate the return of its collegiate residents.

Take a self-guided tour of Troy’s historic structures, or watch as the newest members of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Russell Sage College communities become acquainted with downtown Troy and its businesses during a special scavenger hunt. Several bands will also be on hand providing live music throughout the event.

Stop by Troy Cloth and Paper at 291 River Street to screen print one of its new Troy coordinates T-shirts for $16, or to pick up this month’s limited-edition TNO Print Off! Poster with highlights of the city’s storied past, hand illustrated by Sycaway artist Emily Jahn, for $15.

Grab a bag of freshly-popped popcorn at the Collar City Sweet Shoppe at 45 3rd Street to snack on as you make your way around town.

Have little ones who like superheroes? Make your way over to Aquilonia Comics and Cards at 412 Fulton Street. Or, if the whole family enjoys playing games, head over to Foam Brain Games at 71 4th Street for its free, weekly Friday Board Game Night.

These are just a few of the pleasant surprises in store; download the EventStroll app to your mobile device for a detailed list of participating shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants and the specials they’ll offering that evening.
