Happy Presidents Day, Gloversville! Today, we take a moment to look at the history of the United States through the lens of our own downtown streets. While Washington and Lincoln get the spotlight on the calendar, Gloversville has its own unique connection to the Oval Office.

As you make plans this winter, we encourage you to remember the importance of supporting local dining—particularly the restaurants in Downtown Gloversville that are proudly owned and operated by small business owners from our community. These establishments are more than places to eat; they are employers, gathering spaces, and vital contributors to the local economy.

Downtown Gloversville’s arts scene is thriving this winter with live music, theatre, gallery openings, and artist-focused housing at Glove City Lofts, making the city a growing hub for culture and creativity in the Mohawk Valley.

The holiday season in Gloversville is always full of charm, tradition, and community spirit — and this year, it’s getting even more magical with multiple events celebrating The Polar Express, a heartwarming story that has become a treasured part of the season for families everywhere.
