The Adirondack Wine & Food Festival returns to Lake George on Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25 at the Charles R. Wood Festival Commons in Lake George Village.<\/p>\n

Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

The festival will feature more than 120 New York wineries, distilleries, breweries, cideries, artisan food producers, food trucks, crafters, and more. The family-friendly event has drawn draws visitors from 36 states, according to organizers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now in its seventh year, the festival anticipates some 7,800 attendees this year. The 2022 Festival had over 6,800 guests, with 81 percent saying they planned a trip to the Lake George area specifically to attend the festival, officials said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival is expected to generate 12,000-plus overnight stays in the area and produce an economic impact of just under $5 million on the region.<\/p>\n

This year, the festival is expanding into the adjacent Betty Little Boulevard, launching a \u201cFood Truck Alley,\u201d with 15 food trucks and several local artisans and festival sponsors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we sold out on Saturday with over 4,000 attendees. With this expansion, attendees will enjoy more space on the festival grounds with access to more vendors than ever. We are also providing free public access to Food Truck Alley for our guests who just want a bite to eat but may not be able to or wish to enter the ticketed festival grounds,\u201d said Sasha Pardy, Adirondack Festival owner.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>For a fourth time, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Southern Adirondacks (BBBS) is the festival beneficiary. A portion of every ticket sold is donated to the organization that provides mentorship, tutoring, and experiences to youth in Warren, Washington, and northern Saratoga counties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BBBS operates the drop-off\/pick-up tent, where guests can check the beverages and foods they purchase at the festival until they are ready to leave. They also provide over 60 festival volunteers, sell water bottles, and raffle tickets to gift baskets filled with goodies from festival vendors. Last year, over $23,000 was raised and \u2019s goal is even higher.<\/p>\n

Throughout the weekend, attendees will enjoy culinary and cocktail demonstrations and competitions under the Taste NY culinary and cocktail tent. These segments feature the, owner of Hudson\u2019s Private Chef Services, and resident mixologist Kelli Hatin, owner of Mixaritas Mobile Bartending and a SUNY Adirondack business professor, as they prepare food and drink made with ingredients supplied by festival vendors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival has a two-day lineup of local solo musicians arranged by 518 Rock, plus the impressive Street Magic of TJ Clancy. Stilt walking and aerial work from Jessica Black returns, as well as a fun photo booth.<\/p>\n

Adirondack Brewery will be running a new biergarten this year, where festival attendees can purchase full glasses of Adirondack Brewery and Mean Max Beers, or Adirondack Winery wines. There will be a VIP tent, provided by situated\u00a0 <\/span>where VIP ticket holders rent \u201cglamping tents\u201d for their private groups. These tents are provided and sponsored by Adirondack Safari in Warrensburg.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festival will have more vendors than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vendors hand-craft so many unique products you won\u2019t find anywhere else. It\u2019s fun to try something new, and it feels great to support local artisans by bringing your newfound favorites home with you,\u201d said Pardy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage attendees to come with families, and especially locals to attend on Sundays when there is more room to roam, a more laid-back atmosphere and locals discount if you buy in advance. designated drivers get in for only $20 and Kids 15 and under get in free; and will enjoy access to food trucks, samples from artisan food vendors and non-alcoholic beverage vendors, and a kids activity tent located within the festival gates featuring several yard games, bubbles, crafts and more,\u201d said festival director, LeighAnn Loftus. \u201cThere is also a natural playground and skatepark right outside our gates,\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets will be available at the door; however, VIP and Saturday tickets have sold out in the past, and an exclusive locals ticket discount is available for Sundays when buying in advance, so advance ticket purchase is recommended.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, Adirondack Festivals LLC is based in Queensbury and owned by Pardy, who is also the co-owner and president of Adirondack Winery, the presenting sponsor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
