Celebrate the Season at the 2025 Saratoga Fall Festival
On Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Spa City will come alive as the community celebrates the season at the annual Saratoga Fall Festival. Presented by the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association (DBA), this much-loved event will fill downtown Saratoga with family fun, festive activities, and local spirit.
The celebration will take place primarily on Caroline Street, with a variety of activities spread throughout Broadway and surrounding areas. From trick-or-treating to pumpkin rolling, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during this downtown tradition.
Have Fun at the 2025 Saratoga Fall Festival
From 12 PM to 3 PM, children and their families are encouraged to dress up in costume and go trick-or-treating at participating businesses across downtown Saratoga Springs. Maps for trick-or-treating can be picked up at the DBA table located at the Caroline Street and Broadway intersection.
Families can also grab a list of riddles and clues for the Saratoga-Themed Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt, available at both the Visitors Center and the DBA table.
Completed riddles can be turned in by 3 PM on Saturday at either location—or by 6 PM on Sunday at Impressions of Saratoga—for a chance to win a DBA gift card raffle.
