There was a yearbook themed glens falls retrospective which was a little hard to follow as the format lended to being disjointed, but was thoughtful and a cute concept overall. There was a photography exhibit of historic local photos too, but I can't remember the name of the artist. Great local museum.

Before I lived in this area, I would visit the Magic Moon every time I was in town to purchase a particular brand of lavender oil (that's unfortunately not being produced anymore). Regardless of the fact that my favorite essential oil company no longer exists, I still just love stepping in here to smell the smells, feel the vibe, talk to cool people behind the counter and find something fabulous to purchase.

Lake George, NY - Lake George is firmly on the map as a popular summer destination, but its…read morebest-kept-secret might be the Winter Carnival, a beloved Adirondacks tradition since 1961. It takes place every weekend in February and into early March, and most events are free, low-cost, family friendly, and centered in the heart of Lake George Village around Canada Street, Shepard Park, and on the lake itself! We attended week 3 of this 5-week festival, and there was no shortage of things to do! The event lineup is delightfully eclectic. Highlights include decorated outhouse races (yes really lol), car/truck/motorcycle/ATV races on the frozen lake, cookoff competitions (different theme for each of the 5 weeks - we got chowder), polar plunges for the brave & hypothermic, dog talent contest, campfire s'mores, ice bars, keg & skillet tosses, daily live music at local bars & restaurants, art exhibition, horse & carriage rides, fireworks over the lake, and many kids activities and family fun like snow tie-dye shirts, hot chocolate bar, bouncy house, coloring & crafts, etc. The schedule is pretty packed, so best to go in with a plan: check the listings, pick what you like to do, and have an itinerary. Ticketed events such as the cookoff tastings, special tours, and souvenir mug hot chocolate bar tend to sell out in advance. Word to the wise: arrive early to the cookoff lines or you'll be doing the frozen shuffle for 45 minutes. (Ask me how I know.) If you have a ticket, you're guaranteed a tray, but warm food and warm body are two different things. In addition, I did an evening ghost tour at Fort William Henry (preceded by fireworks), which was atmospheric and fun. Our family also did a snowshoe hike at Up Yonda Farm (see my separate review for this) - one of my favorite activities all weekend and absolutely recommended! We missed the naturalist-led hike which was sold out, but were still able to rent snowshoes including a child-sized pair and had a great self-guided hike through the trails. Both of these are technically year-round activities folded into the carnival lineup, and I greatly enjoyed both experiences. Sadly, I missed the walk across a frozen lake to Dome Island!! Tix went fast and for good reason: the island is normally off-limits to the public except for occasional guided tours like this one, so it's a rare opportunity. (Not suitable for young kids unless they are capable of walking a mile each way across a frozen lake - or if you're up for carrying them.) We saw many snowmobiles and ATV/UTVs zipping around so you can probably rent those too, but mind the road rules and check the designated access map. The website is somewhat unwieldy to use so I recommend downloading the beautiful and comprehensive brochure (or grab one when you arrive town - they're everywhere) to see all the activities on offer as well as the events schedule for all five weekends (subject to change). Check the website for last-minute updates or location changes, since ice-dependent events are subject to the weather's cooperation. 2026 brochure: https://lakegeorgewintercarnival.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/lgwc-2026-sponsorship-booklet-compressed.pdf I'm rating this annual festival 5 stars for the variety, length, and the sheer organizational scale - especially considering it's 100% volunteer-run so really speaks to the heart and community spirit of this operation. If you're looking for an easy weekend getaway in the dead of winter for some charming cold air fun, LGWC's got you covered!
