Best events in
Malta

While the town itself has a relaxed pace, there is no shortage of events and things to do in Malta, NY and the surrounding area. The local scene is grounded in community traditions, from family festivals at public parks to live music at lakeside taverns. For a faster pace, the lively nightlife and cultural venues of nearby Saratoga Springs are just a short drive away.

Evenings in Ballston Spa offer a quiet, small-town charm, with activities centering on its walkable downtown before the village settles down for the night.
Find year-round folk and acoustic sets in an intimate setting at Caffè Lena or catch touring bands at Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs.
Catch local bands and weekly trivia nights at Malta spots like Bentley's Tavern or Carson's Woodside Tavern on Saratoga Lake.
