About SPAC
Exceptional Beauty
Diverse artistry thrives at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the cultural hub of upstate New York, the Hudson Valley, Vermont, the Berkshires, Connecticut, and nearby Canada.
SPAC hosts the New York City Ballet and The Philadelphia Orchestra in an acoustically ideal amphitheatre in the heart of Spa State Park; presents superior chamber, jazz, rock and pop music, opera, Pre-Performance Talks, and Saratoga Wine & Food Festival; and oversees the National Museum of Dance.
We welcome loyal friends and families familiar with SPAC's program, and encourage newcomers to explore this region's premier cultural centerpiece.
