| "Our goal is to say "Thank You" to everyone who supports us year round and to give the local families a tradition that is unique to Saratoga Springs' life. There is a whole generation of 22 year olds (and under) that grew up with the Victorian Streetwalk and are now returning from college and performing in it. That makes me extremely proud."

Downtown Saratoga was closed to traffic and all of Broadway was blanketed in Victorian holiday magic. The annual Saratoga Springs Victorian Streetwalk transformed the city into a Victorian winter wonderland the Thursday after Thanksgiving this year.
There were all types of entertainers working the crowds at the Victorian Streetwalk in downtown Saratoga Springs. Musicians, magicians, children's comedy and other performances were held. Santa welcomed visits from children at his very special cottage, where kids were able to get up close and personal with his real-life team of reindeer!
Carolers were strolling the sidewalks dressed in elegant period costumes, gaily colored hats and scarves, delighting listeners with music and song.
The Saratoga Festival of Trees was also on display, featuring dozens of beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and swags that were created and donated by local businesses. All sales of decorations went to benefit charity.
