We’re heading into the final days of July, and that means our big first weekend of August is almost here.

On Saturday, August 1, the American Red Cross will host a blood drive at Saratoga Town Hall from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Donating blood is one of the simplest ways to support others in our community, and we encourage anyone who can donate to take part.

Then on Sunday, August 2 at 1 p.m., Schuylerville welcomes residents and visitors to the Turning Point Parade—now officially recognized by CNN as one of 14 unique ways to celebrate America’s 250th across the entire country. This parade honors the American victory at the 1777 Battles of Saratoga, where the momentum of the Revolution shifted. More than 100 units will march the historic route where British Regulars surrendered, creating a powerful connection to our shared past.

Join us for a weekend that reflects the best of Saratoga: service, community, and history.

A Tradition That Marches Through Time: Turning Point Parade & Festival Returns to Schuylerville

The Capital Region’s signature celebration of Revolutionary heritage returns this summer as the Turning Point Parade & Festival brings thousands of residents and visitors back to Schuylerville for two marquee events on August 2 and August 8, 2026. Organized by a dedicated volunteer committee, the festival honors who built this community, what the Battles of Saratoga achieved, when the turning point of the Revolution occurred, where it unfolded across the Hudson River corridor, and why this tradition continues to matter. Recently recognized by CNN as one of “14 Unique Ways to Celebrate America’s 250th,” the Turning Point celebration remains one of the region’s most beloved summer gatherings.

The event begins on Sunday, August 2 at 1:00 p.m., when the Turning Point Parade steps off through the Village of Schuylerville. Crowds line the streets for a patriotic procession of colorful floats, marching bands, veterans and military groups, first responders, equestrian units, classic vehicles, and dozens of community organizations. For many families, it’s the moment summer truly arrives — a tradition that blends Revolutionary remembrance with the energy of a modern hometown celebration.

The festivities continue on Saturday, August 8, when Fort Hardy Park hosts the Turning Point Festival from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Festival‑goers can expect live music, local food vendors, craft and artisan booths, historical displays, family activities, beverages from regional breweries and distilleries, and a fireworks finale over the Hudson River. It’s a full community showcase — part heritage tourism, part summer celebration, and entirely powered by volunteers.

The Turning Point Parade & Festival Committee extends special thanks to its 2026 Revolutionary Sponsors:

Their support keeps this longstanding tradition free and open to all.

Event details, parade participation forms, sponsorship opportunities, and volunteer information are available at www.turningpointparade.com.

Looking ahead:
To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga, the Turning Point Parade will move next year to Surrender Day — October 17, 2027 as part of the Saratoga 250 commemorations.

As we move through July, we want to highlight two important events coming up on the first weekend of August.

On Saturday, August 1, the American Red Cross will be at Town Hall from 8:00 a.m. to noon for a community blood drive. If you’re able to give, please consider participating—your donation could make a real difference for someone in need.

The next day, Sunday, August 2 at 1 p.m., Schuylerville’s Turning Point Parade steps off along Spring Street. CNN recently named it one of 14 unique ways to celebrate America’s 250th, recognizing the parade’s deep roots in commemorating the American victory at the Battles of Saratoga. With marching bands, veterans, fire companies, living historians, and more than 100 units, it remains one of our region’s most meaningful traditions.

We hope to see many of you at both events as we celebrate community, service, and history.

On Saturday, August 1, the American Red Cross will hold a blood drive at Saratoga Town Hall, 12 Spring Street, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Every donation helps save lives, and the need for blood is constant in communities across the country.

Then on Sunday, August 2 at 1 p.m., Schuylerville hosts the Turning Point Parade, recently recognized by CNN as one of just 14 unique ways to celebrate America’s 250th nationwide. This parade commemorates the American victory at the 1777 Battles of Saratoga, a turning point that changed the course of the Revolution. More than 100 units will march along the historic surrender route, creating a living connection between past and present.

We encourage residents to mark their calendars and take part in both events.
