Gala season is already in full swing in Saratoga, but now that the track is open, the city’s social scene really starts amping up. Every nonprofit wants a piece of the racing season excitement, which bodes well for those of us who love an excuse to dress up and bid on silent auction items we don’t really need. Head to Saratoga Living After Hours for a pretty-darn-comprehensive guide to Saratoga’s summer social season.
