The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival
The Saranac Lake Winter Carnival has been a key part of Saranac Lake’s history. The long, cold Adirondack winters with snow-covered mountains and ice-encrusted lakes provided the opportunity to enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as skiing, sledding, and skating. In order to break winter’s chill and to promote “outdoor sports and games”, the Pontiac Club was formed in 1896, and a year later, they sponsored the first “Mid-Winter Carnival”. This first Winter Carnival was a two-day affair that featured skating races, a parade and an “ice tower” – features that have been, in one form or another, part of every Carnival since.
Get ready for some cold weather fun as you gear up for the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival! 2022 promises to be an action-packed year for this wintry celebration with a theme of “Totally 80’s”.
The Winter Carnival takes place at various locations throughout Saranac Lake, NY. The iconic Saranac Lake Ice Palace, shown above, can be found on the shores of Lake Flower at Pontiac Bay. It is the centerpiece of the carnival and is open to everyone through the entire event!
