Fifth Annual Harvest Festival Sunday

Saratoga TODAY
SARATOGA SPRINGS – I’ll tell you how lucky you are to live here.
Most upstate towns would love to have our Henry Street as their MAIN street.
A great vibe; a mix of unique and historic, cherished retailers. A destination in every sense of the word. Blending monks with funk. A mélange of salons and slices; places to paint and sip, or play darts and sip or – just sip.
But this Sunday, they take it up a notch. From noon – 4 p.m., the Fifth Annual Harvest Festival will turn Henry Street into a good old-fashioned block party.
During that time Henry Street will be closed to vehicular things from Lake Avenue to Caroline Street. Within these boundaries you may expect and enjoy: local performers, vendors and activities for kids. Henry Street businesses are ready to celebrate everything autumn with fall treats and family fun.
Activities include live music, a dance performance, entertainment, festive food, seasonal snacks, pumpkin decorating, face painting, a dunking booth and a live broadcast from 101.3 The Jockey.
This 2014 edition is extra special as it pays a special memorial tribute to Mana Behan, a beloved community member, yogi, and healer, organized by One Roof Holistic Health Center.
As from the beginning, proceeds from the Henry Street Harvest Festival benefit Gateway House of Peace, a local non-profit volunteer organization with a vision to serve the terminally ill of the northern Saratoga County community.
