Welcome To Schenectady, NY

The historic community began as farms in 1664 on the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers. Schenectady comes from the Mohawk language and means "beyond the pines." The many fascinating historic locations to visit include the Mabee House, the Stockade Historic District and the General Electric Realty Plot, which features Dutch Colonial, Queen Anne, Spanish Colonial and Tudor-styled homes. Modern attractions include Broadway shows at the Proctors and touring the Schenectady Museum, which houses the Suits-Bueche Planetarium.

Things To Do

In March, the Proctors theater hosts the annual Capital Region Wine Festival. During the event, guests have the opportunity to sample a variety of red, white and sparkling wines in addition to chef-prepared food. Activities also include live entertainment and an auction.

When the colorful blooms appear, the community welcomes spring with the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. The event features a number of family-friendly activities that include a cornhole tournament, a 5K race, a 2K walk, a dunk tank, pony rides, children's inflatable playground and plenty of popular fast foods.

The historical society hosts the annual Mabee Farm Canal Fest in July. The event commemorates the Erie Canal while stepping back in time to experience life in past years. Activities include blacksmithing and cooking demonstrations, storytelling, period-themed crafts and tours of the Mabee house.

The St. Adalbert's Church hosts the annual Polish Festival in August. The Polish members of the congregation share the heritage with all by presenting live concerts featuring traditional music and dance performances. Other activities include a variety of games and authentic Polish cuisine.

Local adults stave off winter's cold by attending the Electric City on Tap-Beer Festival. The event takes place at the Schenectady Armory where American brewers share more than 150 craft beers. Guests also enjoy live entertainment and a selection of foods.
