Community celebrations are more than just fun; they also create a sense of belonging for youth and adults. Community celebrations have become a part of Saratoga’s identity. Thousands of people attend the annual Independence Day Celebration every Fourth of July, and the yearly Blossom Festival has a history dating back to the early 1900s. There are also numerous arts, music, and dance festivals, as well as events that celebrate nature, such as Arbor Day.
