Neighbors You’re Welcome at the Fresh Table
Fresh Table Pop-Up Community Pantry
Free Fresh Produce, Meat, & Dairy
A Fresh Table is a place where neighbors come and get free, fresh, and healthy food. The Fresh Table is a new and modern way for neighbors to help neighbors while supplementing existing food support, and mitigating the barriers and stigma associated with traditional food pantries. Tables are welcoming spaces where people gather and share food. If you are running low on healthy food and need extra help until payday, you can get fresh, wholesome food for free at the Scotia-Glenville Fresh Table.

Scotia Fireworks Update and Information
The fireworks will commence approximately at 9:15PM on June 30th. Prior to the fireworks the US Water Ski Show will start at 7:00PM followed by the Freedom Park concert series featuring Joe Adee & The Lug Nuts starting at 8:00PM.
This is a family friendly event and we hope that those visiting our Parks and fireworks site will be respectful of all those attending. Our parks are no alcohol, no smoking parks. We ask that you respect these rules when visiting. We also ask that because of the large crowds anticipated that you practice a carry in/carry out policy and take any garbage and recyclables with you when you leave.
Remember we are all here to celebrate Independence Day and to pay homage to the greatness of our Country. We encourage you to enjoy the celebrations and to do so safely and respectfully. We want you to enjoy our Parks on this day and throughout the year, we take great pride in our parks and hope you do as well.
I would also ask that you understand that you are attending a major event in a village that will triple in size on this day and that precautions have been taken for everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Safety personnel will be stationed throughout the event site and are there to help.
Because of the large number of people visiting our great village there will be delays in both arriving and exiting. Expect and plan for delays, there is no way to escape the fact we will have delays. We have developed a plan to help the arrival process and most importantly the exit process. There will be officers at every major intersection to help move traffic along as fast as possible. Remember that there is only so much we can do to move cars through our streets safely and we are doing all that can be done. We ask for your patience in arriving and especially as you depart for home.
For the safety of the those visiting for the fireworks we will be closing the Western Gateway Bridge (Rt. 5) in both directions* beginning at 4:00 PM.
*UPDATE 6/29/23:
The following modifications to the Western Gateway Bridge closures will be followed:
For West Bound traffic (traffic from Schenectady Side to Scotia) the Western Gateway Bridge will be now be closed at 6 PM rather than the originally schedule 4 PM
For East bound traffic the bridge closure will remain at 4 PM
If you are coming from the East and need to go West or North we recommend you use either Freemans Bridge or Rt. 890 West to exit 1A, this will allow you to avoid the bridge closure and related delays. (See Map) If you are coming to the Fireworks from the East, we recommend you park at Schenectady Community Parking Lot and walk across the bridge to the Scotia side or enjoy the fireworks from the parking lot. (The bridge will be closed for motorized traffic but open for pedestrians to cross into the village). If you are arriving to the Village for the fireworks there is limited $10 parking inside Collins Park. There is also parking on many of the Village streets that are not marked with no parking signs. The streets where you will more likely find parking are those West of Ballston Ave. (Rt. 50). Below is a list of the streets that have no parking or one side of street restriction. I highly encourage you to NOT park in these areas. You will be ticketed if you do.
Enjoy the Fireworks brought to you by The Village of Scotia and our Premiere Supporter Jumpin’ Jacks. We wish to thank all of the surrounded municipalities for their incredible help, to Freedom Park Foundation and the US Water Ski Show Team for our entertainment and a special thank you to the Schenectady County Legislature who without their assistance we could not have this wonderful evening of celebration. A final heartfelt Thank You to the Lansing family for their years of sponsorship and to all the Village Employees who have worked above and beyond to bring to you the 2023 Scotia Fireworks show.
Thank you and please make note of the map and information below to help you navigate to the event.

Scotia, NY: The Village of Scotia announced that the fireworks display that has traditionally been a part of the village’s Fireworks Event will once again take place. The fireworks were previously cancelled by the Mayor and Board of Trustees due to concerns about not having enough resources to safely host the thousands of visitors who flock to the village for the event.
Last night the Schenectady County Legislature unanimously passed a resolution to provide financial, public safety, and other assistance needed by the village to ensure the event can proceed as originally planned.
“As soon as we cancelled our annual fireworks display our community partners stepped up in a big way to ensure the show could go on,” said Mayor David Bucciferro. “The invaluable support and assistance pledged by the Schenectady County Legislature along with support from CDTA and SUNY Schenectady to provide free parking and shuttle service to the event has enabled us to move forward with this family-friendly event.”
The Scotia Fireworks Event will take place on June 30th starting at 7:00 p.m. with a ski show featuring the U.S. Water Ski Show Team, then music at Freedom Park from Joe Adee and the LugNuts starting at 8:00 p.m., and end with a fireworks display sponsored by Jumpin’ Jacks Drive-In at dark.
“Families throughout the county have been coming to Scotia’s Fireworks event for years,” said Schenectady County Legislator Cathy Gatta. “The Legislature has pledged to provide financial and resource support to make sure this important tradition can continue. Working together we can create a memorable and safe experience for everyone.”
“We’d like to thank the Schenectady County Legislature for recognizing how important this event is to our village and the entire community,” said the Board of Trustees. “With their support and the hard work of our dedicated staff we can rest assured that we will have the resources needed to make this a safe and fun event for the entire community to enjoy.”
Additional support has been pledged by the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office, the Town of Glenville, and other neighboring municipalities.
Hello Residents,
I want to take a moment to provide some details on Phase One of the Municipal Facilities project. Beginning the evening of Sunday 6/4/2023 the Municipal Lot will be closed; any vehicles remaining in the lot after midnight will be towed. On Monday, June 5th the initial site preparation work will begin. You will see a fence constructed around the construction site as well as the staging of equipment. Every effort is being made to limit the disruption to our community however one area that will be affected is the Electric Vehicle Chargers. The charging stations will be removed, stored and re-installed in a different section of the village municipal lot at a later date.
There will be minor delays that may happen occasionally as trucks unload or equipment is put into place but they will be limited and short in duration.
This is an exciting time for the Village as we move forward to continue our growth. I will provide frequent updates through our website and email system. I understand that there will be questions and concerns and we will do our best to answer your questions and address your concerns.
Please check back frequently for update and if you have not yet signed up for our email updates please do.
Thank You.
Mayor David
