We’re excited to share a summer full of meaningful experiences from our members at the Lake George Association. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, spending the full season at the lake, or proudly part of the local business community, the LGA invites you to take part in a series of events designed to celebrate — and protect — the Queen of American Lakes.

This year’s lineup includes something for everyone: family-friendly lake education programs, an unforgettable lobster feast with live music, a scenic cruise with fellow lake lovers, and a hands-on volunteer clean-up day. These events not only offer memorable ways to enjoy Lake George, but also provide opportunities to support its long-term health and beauty.

Join the LGA in making a positive impact while enjoying the best of summer in the Lake George region. Every event is a chance to connect, learn, and give back to the lake that gives us so much.
