Visit the ADKX and enjoy a safe, fun, and memorable day – all at no cost to you! Help us get the word out about all that ADKX has to offer members of the African American community.
Multiple trips are scheduled to and from Albany, with additional trips from Utica and Syracuse on September 23, 2023.
These bus trips are underwritten in part by Hydro-Quebec.
