Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs is one of the oldest continuously operating folk music venues in the United States, having hosted artists like Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Don McLean, and Ani DiFranco since 1960. The intimate 110-capacity listening room at 47 Phila Street maintains a sacred reverence for acoustic music — no talking during performances, no distractions, just music. Its historic stage has been a launching pad for folk legends and a home for roots music for over six decades.
Located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, Caffe Lena programs folk, bluegrass, Americana, singer-songwriter, and world music year-round. Shows typically run Thursday through Sunday. Advance tickets strongly recommended — the room sells out regularly.
