Gourdeous Hike - Free Family Fall Event in Saratoga Springs

About this event

Celebrate fall in Saratoga Springs at the Gourdeous Hike at Artisanal Brew Works, kicking off Sunday, September 20, from 12 PM until dusk.

This free, family-friendly outdoor fall event features a short, self-guided trail lined with locally grown gourds and small pumpkins from Gifford Farms in Gansevoort, NY.

How the Gourdeous Hike Works

Walk the trail, browse gourds and pumpkins in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes, and choose your favorites to take home. There is no admission charge or fee to walk the trail. Guests pay only for the gourds and pumpkins they select, with prices varying by size.

Sunday, September 20 is the official kickoff, but the Gourdeous Hike will remain available during the following week while gourds and pumpkins last.

Food, Drinks & Live Music

During the Sunday kickoff, enjoy fresh-pressed apple cider and cider donuts, along with the full Nature’s Edge Bistro menu featuring appetizers, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, salads and more.

The bar will also be serving Artisanal Brew Works craft beer, seasonal cocktails, wine, mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks.

Live music will feature Rich Clements Triple Trouble with special guest Will Capuano from 4–6 PM.

The Gourdeous Hike is family-friendly, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas at Artisanal Brew Works.
