Endless events, no matter the season

In the warmer months, events really start to heat up. Live music and concerts abound and our area parks and waterfront are ideal for a picnic or family get together. Spend an evening relaxing on the shore of Mirror Lake or take in the fall foliage at the annual Oktoberfest.

Even as temperatures drop, there's still plenty to do in Lake Placid. In December, join us for the Holiday Village Stroll for a chance to meet Santa and celebrate the season!

There is something happening all the time in Lake Placid and the High Peaks Region with many more events on the calendar.
