SPAC Grounds

Kick off our 60th anniversary season and celebrate a decade of leadership under CEO Elizabeth Sobol.

Join us on May 29 in celebration and support of SPAC’s mission! Because of your support, we are able to serve the Capital Region and beyond through artistic excellence, educational programming, and community outreach. 

We are excited to once again offer three unique experiences, featuring Mazzone Hospitality as our dinner caterer, Franklin Square Market as the caterer for the exclusive pre-dinner cocktail party on SPAC’s amphitheater stage, and the return of SPACtacular favorites like the Party Tent, fireworks, an epic dance party on the stage, and zero-proof drinks under the Pavilion – this year we will be introducing a sealed-bid auction to win a SPAC VIP experience!  

Get your tickets now for this magical evening under the stars and on the SPAC stage. 

Please note that space is limited and this event will sell out. 

 

This is a 21+ event.
