Chowderfest!

Come to the Saratoga Chowderfest! Over 50 vendors will be serving 4 oz. samples of various chowders for $2 each, with live entertainment throughout the area. We will meet inside the lobby of the City Center at 11:00 on the eastern side close to the outside stairs facing Maple Ave.

Dress warmly!!! Brr!!! We will wend our way down Broadway and back, and if interest may choose to end the afternoon at a restaurant/pub of choice.

Bring a spoon!

Please note Broadway will be closed to traffic.

Questions?? My cell: (518) 253-3925.

This event will only run if there are at least 4 attendees.
Snow of more than 1 inch will cancel.

Your best bet is to take exit 15 off the Northway. If coming from the north turn left onto route 50, if coming south make a right onto route 50. Take 4th left onto Rock St. Take the first right onto Maple Ave. Go to 99 Maple Ave. on your left (on GPS: SP+ Parking) and you will have arrived at the city parking garage across the street from the City Center.
Parking for this garage is free for the first hour, and then $4 every hour after that, for a maximum of $15 for the day.
