Saratoga Springs Will Have a New Pride Crosswalk This June!

Crossing Spring Street, between the Congress Park Carousel and the Hawthorne Spring, a new rainbow-colored crosswalk will be a symbol of Saratoga’s continued open and welcoming environment, and ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community. It has been made possible through a combination of private donations and support from the City of Saratoga Springs. According to Public Safety Commissioner Robin Dalton, “Saratoga Springs is an incredibly supportive community, and this crosswalk will serve as a permanent symbolic welcome mat for all to see and appreciate as they enter the city.”

June 3rd Ribbon Cutting

On Thursday, June 3rd at 6pm (rain date on June 4th), there will be an official ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring greetings from local and state officials and community members. The family-friendly event will be held by the historic Carousel in Congress Park. There will be live performance and art activities provided by Saratoga Arts and CREATE, and group photos in the newly painted crosswalk. Following the ceremony, there will be a gathering at Bailey’s on Phila Street.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors for making this possible, including the Adirondack Trust Company Community Fund, KeyBank, PDT Catering, Skidmore College, The Goodridge Team at Keller Williams and many other generous community members who contributed. Special thanks go out to the City of Saratoga Springs, Mayor Meg Kelly and Commissioner Robin Dalton for their continued support of the LGBTQ+ community.  And special thanks to Trieste Cordova for the crosswalk graphic.
