Chowderfest has changed tremendously over the years! What started as small gatherings on Caroline Street in 1999 has evolved into citywide street closures complete with flash mobs. It is a community tradition that attracts thousands of attendees each year.
Last year, on a chilly Saturday in February, Chowderfest had a stellar year:
- 112,000 cups of chowder
- 40,000 people
- 82 vendors
Join us on Saturday, February 10 from 11am - 4pm. The 25th Annual Saratoga Chowderfest is going to be an event you don’t want to miss!
