Saratoga Springs celebration expected to make a splash

By Linda Petersen
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Volunteers and city staff members are putting last-minute touches on the city's annual Splash Days celebration "The Greatest Splash" which will be held Monday, June 4, to Saturday, June 9. Most of the events which are free will be held at Neptune Park, 452 W. 400 N.

Food trucks will be part of the city's festivities Monday through Friday beginning at 5 p.m. each evening. The City of Fun Carnival will open Wednesday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m. and continue through Saturday, at 10 p.m. All rides will be one ticket ($1) on Wednesday for Family Day. Wristbands for $20 are currently being presold at the library.

One of the most popular events is the Search for Saratoga- Amazing Race competition.

"The Search for Saratoga (a scavenger hunt that takes people around the city) is always a hit," Assistant Civic Events Coordinator Corrine Prestwich said. "With it, we highlight different amenities, parks and programs around the city. With so many people moving into the city, we're really working to showcase Saratoga Springs so people think of this as their hometown."
