Saratoga New Years Eve

About this event

Saratoga New Year’s Eve, originally called First Night, and for a short time, Saratoga New Year's Fest will offer residents and visitors a fun way to ring in the new year in downtown Saratoga Springs! 

Presented by Discover Saratoga, Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, Saratoga Springs City Center, and the City of Saratoga Springs, in partnership with Proctors Collaborative, this event promises spectacular entertainment and unforgettable fun for the whole family.

The two-day event will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, and Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025.

The celebration will kick off with a free outdoor concert on Ellsworth Jones Place, located just outside the Saratoga Springs City Center, and a spectacular fireworks display, starting at 6:00 pm, launched from the top level of the City Center’s parking garage.

This portion of the event, held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, is designed to offer a family-friendly option at no cost to the public.

Afterward, Saratoga New Year’s Eve ticketholders can enjoy more live entertainment from nationally recognized acts at multiple downtown venues. Headlining performers and a full entertainment schedule for Saratoga New Year’s Eve will be announced in the coming months, and tickets will go on sale this fall.

The festivities will conclude on New Year’s Day with the Saratoga First Day 5K, a fun and healthy tradition for runners and anyone looking to kick start 2025.
