Earlier this year, the July concerts were relocated to Short Street due to anticipated construction in the downtown area. Following changes to the construction schedule, the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center has confirmed that the concerts will now remain on Prouty Plaza. Working with the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, City staff accommodated the change, allowing this year’s concerts to return to Prouty Plaza.
The location change affects the final four concerts of the 2026 Fridays on Prouty series. Anyone who previously saw promotional materials listing Short Street as the venue should note that all July performances will now be held on Prouty Plaza.
“We’re excited to welcome audiences back to Prouty Plaza this summer,” said Eric Knorr, Music Manager for the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. “The Fridays on Prouty series has become a downtown tradition, and we’re grateful we can continue that tradition in the location our audiences know and love while bringing another outstanding lineup of musicians to Troy.”
