“PARTY AT THE SPA” KICKS OFF FINAL STRETCH FESTIVITIES AT SARATOGA RACE COURSE

 

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – Fans are invited to stay after the races as the fun continues on-track at the meet’s final “Party at the Spa” on Friday, September 3 at 7:00 p.m.

 

The day begins with a special 2:30 p.m. post time and culminates in the last race of the day under a setting sun. Following the races, patrons will enjoy an after-hours party at Saratoga’s newest hot spot – The Post.

 

The festive evening will feature a mix of great food, drinks, and live music from the band Rockjunky. New track dining additions Shake Shack, Blue Smoke and The Paddock Bar will remain open for track guests to enjoy. 

 

“Party at the Spa” will launch the annual Final Stretch festivities as fans say farewell to the 142nd season at Saratoga Race Course.

 

The 40-day meet will culminate in four days of events, food and entertainment throughout Saratoga Springs as the racing season comes to a close on Labor Day weekend.

 

Operated by Union Square Events, Shake Shack, Blue Smoke and The Paddock Bar are the result of a multi-year partnership between the New York Racing Association (NYRA) and celebrated restaurateur Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) to create a unique culinary experience at historic Saratoga Race Course.
