SARATOGA SPRINGS — The 25th Annual Chowderfest will be held 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10.
“It’s the 25th year of Chowderfest in Saratoga Springs. There will be 80-plus participating restaurants and vendors, there will be live music, kids’ activities, collectable hats and shirts for sale.” Saratoga Springs Accounts Commissioner Dillon Moran told the City Council last month.
“The anticipated attendance is between 30,000 and 40,000 in downtown Saratoga. We are ready to bring these crowds into the community to celebrate. Knock on wood we get great weather and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing everybody. We’re going to show the world this is a community that knows how to welcome guests and to show them everything this city has to offer,” Moran said.
The family-friendly event invites participants to savor 4 oz. chowder samples at $2 each from more than 80 Saratoga County establishments.
In addition to chowder, downtown Saratoga Springs will host live entertainment and family-friendly activities. Free shuttles from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. will be available at Saratoga Casino Hotel.
