This event is produced by the Glens Falls Collaborative with major support from the City of Glens Falls and the Glens Falls Business Improvement District.
The Glens Falls Collaborative was created in 2012 by a group of dedicated merchants who wanted to cross-promote and increase business flowing to Downtown Glens Falls, in cooperation with the City of Glens Falls and the Glens Falls Business Improvement District.
The Collaborative has expanded to put on major Downtown events including Pet Fest, Wing Fest, Grandma’s Table, Take A Bite, Boo2You, the Adirondack Christmas Market and Hometown Holidays. The Collaborative also creates an incredible map of Glens Falls with a large distribution, beautiful joint advertising, and now includes restaurants, arts and nonprofit organizations, health related businesses, media arts firms, many different service providers and other area businesses.
