The La Petite Flower Fest and Taste of the Market by Jodie Fitz
The Saratoga Farmers’ market is partnering with Prestwick Chase at Saratoga, Adirondack Trust Company and MVP Health Care to bring the 2nd Annual, 2025 La Petite Flower Festival and Taste of the market to the Saratoga Farmers’ Market.
WHAT is the La Petite Flower Festival? The La Petite Flower Festival is a fun way to celebrate the ever changing landscape of flower growing season in the northeast. The market started this last year with a small event and it’s growing into a much bigger event for the community; it’s free fun for everyone.
WHAT is the Taste of the Market? The Taste of the Market is being incorporated into the La Petite Flower Festival. Tickets are purchased at the GREEN SHED at the market for $2.50 each. Each ticket provides you the opportunity to taste unique flavors and treats throughout the market with specific vendors that are not normally offered. You can purchase as many tickets as you’d like and a list of participating vendors will be released the week of August 18th. The proceeds benefit the market which is a 501(c)3 organization. Buy $25 worth of tickets (10) and get (2) FREE!
WHEN: The 2025 La Petite Flower Fest and Taste of the Market takes place, rain or shine, on Saturday, August 23rd from 9am to 1pm at High Rock Park.
