Upcoming Events in the Adirondacks, February 1-5, 2024

This weekend, the Adirondack Park is the place to be for freezing good fun.

We want people to have the best time possible in the Adirondacks. That’s why we meticulously curate a list of exciting outdoor adventures, live performances, and great ways for visitors and locals to enjoy local food and beverages.

This week, you have a lot to choose from - kick off winter carnival season in Saranac Lake and Lake George, take in new art exhibit openings, revel in a traditional Scottish winter celebration, drop a line in a frozen lake at Tupper Lake’s famous ice fishing derby, catch vintage snowmobile racing in Newcomb, and more. Plus, there are the characteristic Adirondack winter indoor and outdoor activities to keep your whole crew happy.
