Gourdeous Hike – Family-Friendly Fall Event in Saratoga Springs

About this event

Celebrate fall in Saratoga Springs at the Gourdeous Hike at Artisanal Brew Works, kicking off Friday, September 18 at noon. This free, family-friendly outdoor fall event features a short, self-guided trail lined with locally grown gourds and small pumpkins, plus fresh-pressed apple cider, cider donuts, gourd decorating, food, drinks and live music during the Friday kickoff. How the Gourdeous Hike Works Take a walk along our short, self-guided trail and browse gourds and small pumpkins in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. The gourds and pumpkins are locally sourced from Gifford Farms in Gansevoort, NY. Walk the trail, browse the selection, and purchase any favorites you’d like to take home. There is no admission charge or fee to walk the trail. Gourds and pumpkins are priced individually based on size. Friday, September 18 is the official kickoff, but the Gourdeous Hike doesn’t end Friday. The trail will remain open all weekend and during the following week while gourds and pumpkins last. The Gourdeous Hike is rain or shine. Gourd Painting, Food, Drinks & Live Music During the Friday kickoff, enjoy fresh-pressed apple cider and cider donuts, along with the full Nature’s Edge Bistro menu featuring appetizers, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, salads and more. From 4–6 PM, we’ll have optional gourd painting and bedazzling for anyone who wants to get a little more creative with their fall find. The bar will also be serving Artisanal Brew Works craft beer, seasonal cocktails, wine, mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks. Then stick around for live music with Ryan Clark from 6:30–8:30 PM. Come for the Gourdeous Hike, decorate a gourd, grab some food and drinks, and stay for live music and a fall evening at Artisanal Brew Works.
