SARATOGA SPRINGS — Black Friday marks the official start of the holiday shopping season across the country and Saratoga Springs prepares to welcome in the season with huge savings throughout the downtown area. On Friday, November 25, over 20 stores in downtown Saratoga Springs and the surrounding area will be participating in the Black Friday Saratoga 10th Anniversary event, offering a variety of discounts on the day after Thanksgiving.

“We are extremely excited to celebrate the tenth year of Black Friday Saratoga,” said Fran Dingeman, owner of Network Saratoga LLC and organizer of the Black Friday Saratoga promotion for the past ten years. “We have the most participants we’ve ever had to help celebrate this anniversary year. Shoppers look forward to the event all year long as a chance to enjoy special offers in the stores they love and get a jump start on their holiday shopping! Many groups have made it an annual tradition to take advantage of the once-a-year savings and enjoy a day of shopping with family and friends in the beautiful surroundings of Saratoga Springs! What a great way to start off the holiday season!”
