Turning Point Parade & Festival Canceled

SCHYLERVIILE ­­— The popular annual two-day Turning Point Festival will not be staged this year in light of the spread of COVID-19, based upon recommendations of state and local health authorities as they pertain to large event gatherings, festival organizers announced this week. 

The parade and festival – which celebrates the battles of Saratoga as the “turning point” of the American Revolution, was slated to take place Aug. 1-2. 

Festival organizers said they plan to hold the parade and Fort Hardy Park festival in 2021.
