Last year, over 400 visitors braved the showery weather to experience the
fun and excitement of this close-knit community. There will be a scavenger
hunt for participants to follow to encourage them to visit their local businesses
and engage with the business owners. Along the way you can enjoy street
musicians and delicious local food vendors. Restaurants and store fronts
will be open, and artists will be demonstrating their skills. Boaters are
encouraged to dock at the Schuyler Yacht Basin / Clark’s Steakhouse for
the weekend and enjoy the shoreside events as well!
This event is hosted by the Schuylerville Small Business Association
(SSBA), an all-volunteer committee comprised of local business owners,
elected officials and concerned citizens, with help from the Schuylerville
Public Library and Hudson Crossing Park, and sponsored by the Chamber of
Southern Saratoga County and the Schuylerville Chamber of Commerce. The
SSBA’s mission is to create the best community in which to live, work and do
business by enhancing business collaboration and communication, supporting
local entrepreneurs, advocating for our community and promoting positive
advances and developments. This is a great way for boaters to finish out the
2018 season on the canals, amid some fine cruising weather.
Come to the Schuylerville Fall Festival, amid turning leaves at the turning point
of world history! For more information on these and other upstate New York
attractions, call (518) 371-3763, visit

Some hearty music at the Schuylerville Public
Library helped add to the fun at the 2017 Festival.
