Chowderfest is a Favorite among Saratoga NY Events!

 Saratoga Chowderfest 2009

Four seasons of Saratoga NY events include Chowderfest...an annual Saratoga mid-winter tradition! Chowderfest is a community program of the Saratoga Convention & Tourism Bureau, that takes place during Winterfest weekend.  It is a fun thing to do on a cold winter day!  Here's how it works:  You taste different soups and chowders at participating establishments and vote for your favorite.  As you can see by the pictures on the right, it is a great time for the entire family.  You don't want to miss it! For more information on Chowderfest or if you would like to become a member of the Bureau and sign up to participate, please contact Connie!
