ALBANY, N.Y. -- Saturday is the 19th annual WGNA Country Fest, but this year it is being held at the Times Union Center in downtown Albany. Normally held at the Altamont Fairgrounds, the organizers decided a change to hold it in the city instead.

This year WGNA is throwing a free pre-concert block party, which is expected to draw thousands to the downtown area. Viewers can expect big names like Eric Church, Joe Nichols and Josh Thompson on this year's lineup. The show kicks off at 6:00 p.m.
