2025 WBGO Weekend Trip to the Saratoga Jazz Festival

WBGO invites you on an exclusive jazz-filled getaway to the Saratoga Jazz Festival, presented by GE Vernova in the stunning surroundings of Saratoga Springs, NY! Immerse yourself in world-class music, great company, and the vibrant energy of one of the nation’s premier jazz festivals.

Your home for the weekend will be the Hilton Garden Inn Saratoga Springs, ideally located less than two miles from both downtown Saratoga and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC)—the heart of the festival. Your package includes:
✔️ Three nights of comfortable accommodations
✔️ Daily complimentary hot breakfast
✔️ Complimentary Wi-Fi and free parking

Your unforgettable weekend kicks off Friday evening with a private WBGO reception at Forno Bistro, a lively and sophisticated eatery in downtown Saratoga. Enjoy delicious food and drinks while mingling with fellow WBGO Travelers. The evening gets even more special as the incomparable Lezlie Harrison (host of Come Sunday and Singers Unlimited) joins us, bringing her signature warmth, insight, and passion for jazz.

Plus, WBGO staff will be there to welcome you with a festival goodie bag, including your premium reserved seat tickets and a special gift.

Your package includes prime reserved seating at the Amphitheater Stage—no need to worry about bringing chairs or unpredictable weather! But if you’d like, feel free to bring a blanket and relax on the scenic SPAC lawn while exploring performances at the Discovery Stage and the WBGO Members Tent.
