About the Capital City Fund 

The Capital City Fund allows us to hold the Tulip Ball and provides funding for community activities performed by the Tulip Court each year. It is also how we are able to appropriately care for and recognize our Veterans, a matter that is very important to Mayor Sheehan. The Capital City Fund provides Veterans organizations with the means to hold the Veterans and Memorial Day Parades and the Gold Star Families luncheon and to purchase flags used to honor the resting places of Albany County veterans every Memorial Day. The Fund also provides grants to Albany-based nonprofit organizations for innovative programs and services in the areas of community and culture, arts, and education. Proceeds from the Tulip Ball will benefit the Capital City Fund and allow it to continue this important work.  

About the Event

The Tulip Ball is the highlight of the widely-anticipated Tulip Festival weekend. For 77 years, Albany has hosted this three-day event to celebrate our rich history and tradition, which includes the annual street scrubbing and a music, arts, and crafts festival attended by thousands in historic Washington Park.
