On Deck

Valentine's, Galentine's, and North America's biggest dance festival come to Saratoga.

Thursday, February 13

Belmont Stakes Job Fair: Looking for an exciting opportunity to join the horse racing action—and make a little extra money? This Thursday, the New York Racing Association (NYRA) will host a Belmont Stakes job fair from 2-7pm at the 1863 Club at Saratoga Race Course. Prospective workers can meet with NYRA, Levy Restaurants, Mazzone Hospitality, and more to explore a variety of positions for the week of June 4-8, including restaurant staff, cashiers, merchandise clerks, and customer service roles.

Galentine’s Day at Bobbles and Lace: On Thursday, grab your besties for a special Galentine’s Day afternoon at Bobbles and Lace. From 4-7pm, the Broadway boutique will offer a charm bar, rosé, music, specials and styles with Luxe Salon, and more.

Galentine’s Sip, Shop, and Support: Continue the Galentine’s Day fun with Little Lucy’s at Silverado on Thursday from 7-9pm. This sip, shop, and support fundraiser will feature discounts, raffles, and donations from Violet’s of Saratoga and Bobbles & Lace, and will raise money for Wellspring’s domestic abuse treatment center.

Beer and Wine Pairing Dinner: For those who aren’t necessarily looking for a Galentine’s evening, but rather dinner and drinks, head over to The Thirsty Owl at 7pm for a collaborative wine and beer dinner. Featured brews from Artisanal Brew Works and Thirsty Owl’s very own wine will be paired with a four-course meal featuring indulgent smoked salmon crostini, stuffed pork loin, and more.
