Community & Culture Tent
The Niska-Day Committee invites clubs and not-for-profit organizations to share information about your organization at our annual community event. Historically, each space in the tent has had an 8-foot table and 2 chairs, and the hours of the tent have been 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The information you share should benefit the community at large.
Space is limited, so respond early to assure you will receive a space!
All participants in the Community Tent are required to complete and submit the community tent reservation form, sign the Indemnification Agreement, and provide through their insurer an insurance certificate (Accord 25) naming N-CAP as an additional insured for the day of the event. Please visit our forms page to review and obtain the relevant form. All documentation must be submitted by April 19 to ensure your space.

The Niska-Day Committee is happy to have our annual celebration include a Business Tent. We hope your business will participate, and join us to celebrate the vibrant Niskayuna community.Being a community event, Niska-Day is an excellent opportunity to advertise and communicate your product and service features. With thousands of attendees on a good weather day, the Business Tent can provide personal interaction with your local customers, while promoting opportunities for new business. We are pleased to announce that products may be available for customer purchase, but we discourage any “hard sell” situations. As always, you may still bring samples and raffle products and services. In addition, your business will be able to compile lists of interested potential customers for later contact.
The Business Tent is traditionally open from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The fee is for an 8-foot by 5-foot space; tables and chairs will be provided. Space in the business tent will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that we cannot provide electric service. All participants in the Business Tent are required to complete and submit the Business Tent Reservation form, sign the Indemnification Agreement, and provide through their insurer an insurance certificate (Accord 25) naming N-CAP as an additional insured for the day of the event. Please visit our forms page to review and obtain the relevant forms.
Food Drive
The Niska-Day Food Drive has been a part of the Niska-Day parade for over 20 years. Named in honor of its founder, Nancy Gorgos, the Drive is now run by her daughter, Debra Gorgos.
There are a variety of ways to donate non-perishable food as well as personal care items! Shopping carts, donated by the Niskayuna Co-op, are pushed at the end of the parade by volunteers. Feel free to place as many items as you can into the carts. The Food Drive Truck will also be parked near the Niska-Day Information Tent from noon to 3 p.m. during Niska-Day and donations may be placed in the truck.
This year, all donations will go to the Sycamore Collaborative (formerly known as the SICM Food Pantry) out of Schenectady, New York. We look forward to your continued support of this charitable tradition!
