Saratoga Springs City Center Celebrates 30th Anniversary

SARATOGA SPRINGS - The Saratoga Springs City Center is excited to announce that 2014 marks the facility’s 30th Anniversary. A look back to the day City Center first opened its doors on August 2, 1984, shows that it hosted a meeting of the Society of Association Executives of Upstate New York. The highlight during the facility’s first month of operation was a concert by Pete Seeger. It was at that time too that the facility began the work of “Bringing People Together”. The City Center hosts 150 groups and organizations each year and welcomes over 150,000 event attendees and convention guests annually. Over the last 30 years, the facility has been transformed for a multitude of events including national and international conferences, trade shows, conventions, weddings and civic functions, including proms, graduations and special local events. The City Center will celebrate this milestone anniversary by hosting complimentary meetings for several local nonprofit organizations throughout the year. In addition, the City Center will partner with area establishments and agencies to showcase special exhibits, presentations and local works of art. The highlight of this anniversary will be a weekend celebration in September with an Open House of community and family events and activities. To commemorate and illustrate the 30th Anniversary, Larry Ambrosino of Ambrosino Design, Inc., in Saratoga Springs, has created a special logo and tag line of “Bringing People Together” to honor this important anniversary year. The logo will be used by the City Center and its business partners and participating organizations to promote this anniversary year.
