It was good weather to warm up with some hot soup.

Chowderfest in Saratoga Springs brought out a crowd of more than 30,000 people Saturday. While they ate, people could also sample live music and different activities in the downtown area.

People walked around and sampled different kinds of chowder, and they could vote for their favorite.

The four-ounce samples were $2 each.

There were 89 vendors, including 13 first-time participants, with more than 109,000 bowls of chowder served.

New this year, a section of Broadway was closed to traffic for Chowderfest for the safety of the community and visitors.
