Saratoga Pride is back this year with a number of fun, safe events! While we will not have a large festival in June, we hope to be able to hold one sometime this fall. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for info.

Once again this year Broadway will be lined with Saratoga Pride banners for the entire month of June. And, be sure to check out the new Pride Crosswalk on Spring Street, between the Carousel in Congress Park and Hawthorne Spring (and join us for the Ribbon-Cutting ceremony on June 3rd – info below). And while you are on Broadway, be sure to check out the LGBTQ+ window displays at Northshire Bookstore, and other festive and colorful storefronts.

Also, be sure to swing through the Village of Ballston Spa to see the Pride flags adorning the Village Hall, and check out the Woods Hallow Nature Preserve and Town Hall in Milton.
