The Trail of Lights by Artisanal Brew Works is made possible by these generous partners:
The Trail of Lights is Artisanal Brew Works’ newest winter tradition – a glowing, family-friendly walk through our forested trails, transformed by 50 beautifully decorated holiday trees. Each tree is sponsored by a local business, organization, or family, and paired with a unique charity. Visitors can stroll the illuminated path for free, explore each sponsor’s creative display, and learn about the cause they’ve chosen to support.
Although admission is free, this is a community fundraiser at heart.
Every tree features a QR code where guests can read about the charity and make an optional donation directly to that organization. You can also make a single donation that we’ll divide evenly among all 50 charities.
Perfect for families, photographers, nature-lovers, and anyone who enjoys a little holiday magic, the Trail of Lights is open select evenings throughout the season. Warm up afterward in our taproom or at the Nature’s Edge Bistro, offering craft beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, and a full food menu.
What began as a small idea quickly grew into a regional celebration of kindness, creativity, and community spirit. We invite you to experience it for yourself – and help support dozens of incredible local causes along the way.
The Trail of Lights would not have been possible without the generosity and support of several outstanding community partners. We are deeply grateful to Hewitt’s Garden Centers, Adirondack Trust Company, Amsure Insurance, Suburban Services Group, Allerdice Ace Hardware, Nemer CJDR of Saratoga, Granite & Marble Works, OrthoNY, and Grant Graphics for contributing the financial resources, materials, and expertise needed to bring this winter tradition to life. Their commitment to supporting our event helped transform a forest into a glowing celebration of community and giving.
Because of their partnership, we were able to showcase 50 beautifully decorated trees, each tied to a meaningful local charity, and create an experience that brings joy, connection, and purpose to everyone who walks the trail. We are truly thankful for their belief in this project and their dedication to making a positive impact in Saratoga.
The Trail of Lights will be open during our regular business hours through December 31st.
