FIREWORKS AT MIDNIGHT! PLEASE NOTE CHANGE!!!! MOVED TO THE FORMER REGULAR LOCATION OFF LAKE AVENUE
BEHIND THE CITY CENTER!
The midnight fireworks as well as the 6 pm fireworks are now located in the REGULAR location, behind the City Center, off Lake Ave.---just a slightly lower-level show due to the building under construction there---The information in the program books and button cards as printed is INCORRECT and fireworks will be off Lake Ave as they’ve always beenFireworks sponsored by the County of Saratoga & hosted by STAR Radio 101.3 FM
A huge "THANK YOU" to the hundreds of First Night Saratoga Volunteers, without whose commitment and support, First Night would not be possible.
