Saratoga Winterfest 2027
59 daysuntil entries close on December 15
In 2026, 906 athletes from 23 clubs and 3 states competed.
Word from the host
Thanks for your interest in Saratoga Winterfest! We love hosting this meet and have had overwhelming interest. This past year we started doing a pre-registration for returning teams. So once you’re in you’re good to go for the following year. Unfortunately, we have much more interest than we have space even with adding the fourth day. The Saratoga City Center is a small venue and we wish we could add more equipment but we can’t. That being said we will most likely be full before registration even opens in September. If you’re interested in coming you can send tentative numbers to [email protected]. If you were banking on getting into this meet I would plan on having a backup meet.
