After months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Saratoga Springs Heritage Area Visitor Center opened July 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier to reopen the Visitor Center,\u201d said Darryl Leggieri, president of Discover Saratoga. \u201cWith summer travel heating up and COVID-19 restrictions lifted, it\u2019s critical to have a place in our community where locals and visitors alike can go to gain important information about our city. We\u2019d like to thank Mayor Meg Kelly, Commissioner Michele Madigan, and the entire City Council of Saratoga Springs for making this possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Heritage Area Visitor Center has adjusted its hours to Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Unvaccinated individuals are asked to maintain social distancing and wear a mask while inside the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter more than a year of being closed, we are pleased to reopen the Heritage Area Visitor Center,\u201d said Mayor Meg Kelly. \u201cWelcoming all our visitors and community members is a true joy. Thank you to Discover Saratoga for their willingness to open and provide this important service.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover Saratoga has plans to offer community programs at the Heritage Area Visitor Center throughout the summer, including the Summer Concert Series in historic Congress Park. This free, family-friendly event will take place Sundays in July through July 25 and Tuesdays in August (Aug. 3-24) from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. <\/span><\/p>\n
