Winter Events from Speculator to Inlet

When you’re planning out your winter snowmobile or ski vacation, don’t forget about all of the great things we have going on in our little towns. There is something for everyone, from Winter Carnivals to New Year’s Eve bashes to fishing derbies. From December to February, check out everything we have going on.

This will be Oak Mountain's 7th annual Holiday Fair and it is always a fun time for the whole family. From 4-8 p.m. enjoy events for kids and adults. The kids can make reindeer food for Christmas Eve, write letters to Santa, compete in the Gingerbread House competition, and make Christmas ornaments for the tree.

You can also step into the Acorn Pub for a cocktail and some live music, after you have bid on your favorite decorated tree in the Festival of Trees. The proceeds from this silent raffle will benefit the Lake Pleasant Central School Scholarship Fund.
In the Lodge area you can check out the many crafters and vendors on hand selling their merchandise. Get some Christmas gifts for the people on your list (or treat yourself! We won’t tell!).
