Enjoy These Adirondack Winter Carnivals and Festivals This Season

Everybody loves our favorite backyard park, the Adirondacks. The region is well-known around the country for its beauty, quaint small towns, three-hundred years of history, and for its fun family vacation heritage.

In the summer, the area positively teems with campers, boaters, fishermen, tourists, and visitors from all over the country.

But winter, is pretty special up here too!

This gallery, the first of a series which will highlight winter carnivals and events in Upstate New York, looks at the Adirondacks through a frost-covered lens. There are several fun Winter carnivals and festivals that are well-worthy of a visit from you. The towns and villages are, for the most part, very small up here in the mountains. In fact one in this gallery has a population of under 400 residents. Still, these people are hearty and they really know how to throw a party.

Each of this short list of winter festivals is directly linked to the event's website or Facebook page. Please note that at the time of this publication not all have announced their dates for this season. So keep checking back frequently.

So here is to you Lake George, Inlet, Long Lake, Saranac Lake, and the others. Plus, we have even reached waaaay north and included a winter carnival event in Alexandria Bay, on the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Watch for other galleries and regions which will will highlight. And get out and enjoy the season at some fantastic fun, family events!
