100 Events - 54 Venues - 4 Days - $30 - 1 ARTSPASS

SaratogaArtsFest 2009 is a four-day celebration of the arts from June 11-14, featuring music, dance, visual art, film, theatre, and literary art. Take part in this dynamic showcase of the arts, now in its third year.

Thanks to all of those who made SaratogaArtsFest 2009 possible -- our partners, volunteers, sponsors, patrons, artists, and participants. What a wonderful celebration and collaboration of the arts in our home city!

How did SaratogaArtsFest, now in its third year, manage to pull it off for this year’s festival, June 11-14? Collaboration.
