2025 Victorian Streetwalk in Saratoga Springs, NY

About this event

The 39th Annual Saratoga Springs Victorian Streetwalk will take place on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, offering a magical evening in downtown Saratoga Springs. This free, festive event transforms the area into a winter wonderland, presenting over twenty-five sites featuring free entertainment, music, and holiday sights.

The celebration officially begins at 6:00 PM with the traditional tree lighting ceremony, a highlight sponsored by 4 Pillar Funding. Santa Claus will make his arrival in a festive parade, accompanied by the Saratoga Springs Cheerleaders and dancers from The Dance Lab.

This year, the tree lighting will be especially heartwarming as children from Make-A-Wish and their families join to help illuminate the beautiful twenty-seven-foot Balsam tree, which was decorated by Samantha Nass Floral Design. Following the lighting, children will have the opportunity to visit Santa in his Cottage.

Throughout downtown, attendees can enjoy a wide array of entertainment, including performances by Lennox at the Tree Stage, the Racing City Chorus, Road Soda Pop, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Select High School Choir, Saratoga City Ballet, and Sax-O-Claus. Families can also find Mr. Twisty, Balloon Gal Jenny, face painters, and crafting activities by Saratoga Paint & Drip, alongside unique offerings such as Victorian Keepsake Photos by Johnny Miller LLC and the Witch Walk SOSA Witch Way Wanderers.

Various businesses will host Hot Cocoa Stands, including Colwell Law Group, Vessel, Saratoga Arms, and Belong.

Traffic Advisory: Broadway will be completely closed from Van Dam Street/Route 50 down to Spring Street from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM to ensure the safety of all attendees, with portions of the street starting to close earlier in the day.

Celebrate until 9:00 PM throughout downtown Saratoga Springs and experience the festive spirit of this highly-anticipated annual tradition!
