Special Days in Albion

From Martin Luther King Day to Albion Aglow, Albion has several special events representing our diverse community. Some of Albion’s special events were created to celebrate Albion’s Sister City relationship with Noisy-le-Roi, like the French Market and Fête de la Musique. Other events showcase Albion’s talent, like Blues at the Bohm, and Walk the Beat.

Other celebrations bring together and celebrate Albion’s ethnicities, like the Festival of the Forks.
