Want to know more about the town called “The Summer Place to Be”?

Welcome to

the first blog of many following activities to participate in around the area of Saratoga

Springs, New York. I have lived there for nineteen years of my life, and I don’t think I have

ever seen somewhere quite like Saratoga (that’s what people call it for short. Lots of people

may assume there can’t be much fun found in a small town in upstate New York that gets

killed by cold weather and snow in the winter. But they’re wrong! Saratoga is home to so

many unique events and activities that is many people are unfamiliar of. The most popular

time to visit is during what most people refer to as “track season”. It’s when the racecourse

(which I will touch on in a blog) is taking place for 8 weeks during the summer. This blog is

going to dive into a handful of different activities and events that take place in Saratoga

that are great to attend.

If you are from out

of town, thinking about

visiting Saratoga or

already have a trip

planned, you’re in the right

place! I am a real person

that has attended these

events and activities

numerous times and is educated on what it’s like to be present at them. The hope is the give

people reading a genuine description of these events. I feel as if informational websites can

fall from the truth of what goes on at these places. A local, like myself, that has been

through these things countless times can give a great feel and description of what to expect.
Saratoga Springs is located in upstate New York, about 40 minutes north of Albany and

about 30 minutes south of the bottom of Lake George. You may know nothing about

Saratoga, or you may know everything is to know. Hopefully these blogs will help those

that don’t know much about this place I call home and are interested in learning more

about it.

Some of the events I will be talking

about throughout my journal are the

Saratoga Racecourse, SPA Park, and

the Saratoga Performing Arts Center

(SPAC). If you are lucky enough to be

town while these awesome events are

taking place, I highly recommend

trying to get to them. Each of them offers their own unique experience that are hard to get

in other places. Throughout the blogs, there will most likely be some activities you find

super interesting, and some, not so much. But I can almost guarantee you that you’ll find

something that you will have a ton of fun at. There are things for all different people, of

different ages and interests, and my goal is to connect you to what sparks your interest.
