Saranac Lake’s 2024 Winter Carnival Begins Friday, February 2.
An Adirondack tradition, Saranac Lake’s Winter Carnival kicks off with the crowning of the Winter Carnival Royalty.
Every February, for 10 days, Saranac Lake in the Tri-Lakes and High-Peaks region of New York State transforms into a magical winter wonderland. The town puts on a variety of fun-filled winter activities for the whole family to enjoy. The first day of the event sets the tone for the week, and the town goes all out to ensure everyone has a great time.
This year's Saranac Lake Winter Carnival theme is "Creepy Carnival." The event will feature family-friendly Halloween-inspired activities in the Adirondack village of Saranac Lake.
