Save the Date
Mark your calendars now and be part of the second annual Adirondack Winter Pride weekend, February 27–March 2, 2026.
What is Adirondack Winter Pride?
Elevate your winter with a three-day PRIDE celebration in beautiful Lake Placid, and a chance to experience one of America’s original winter getaways. Join us in celebrating the first Adirondack Winter Pride Weekend, where members of the LGBTQI+ community, family members, and allies from all over can connect over days filled with winter fun, celebrations, delicious dining, and a region that does Après ski like no other.
The winter weekend kicks off with a big Welcome Celebration in downtown Lake Placid. On Saturday, find yourself on the dramatic vertical that is skiing at Whiteface Mountain, and stick around for fun and dancing at the Après Ski Party! At any time during your visit, explore miles of tucked away cross-country ski trails, ice skate on the original Olympic Oval, and more; all made possible by Lake Placid’s legendary (and all newly renovated) Olympic venues.
Lake Placid knows relaxation is paramount during any trip, so during your downtime enjoy:
- Shopping on one of the best main streets anywhere
- Discovering interactive exhibits at the Lake Placid Olympic Museum
- Ice skating on historic ice in Olympic rinks
Planning is still underway, and a full schedule is coming soon.
