Participants walk before the judges during the costume contest at the first Saratoga Springs Harvest Festival in Saratoga Springs on Saturday. The event was organized by the city's Civic Events Committee as a way to celebrate the fall, bring the neighborhoods of Saratoga Springs together and raise money for the city.

The event featured a costume contest, live music, a chili cook-off, various booths, games for kids and more.

"We're excited that it turned out as well as it did," said Darcey Williams, the Civic Events Co-chair.

"For our first year, it's awesome," said Annelise Harrison, Civic Events Chair.
