Lake Placid Winter Events
Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll
December 13-15, 2019
If you're anything like us, the first snowflake of the season prompts visions of sugar plums, cravings for crisp apple strudel, and we can almost smell the chestnuts roasting on an open fire. In Lake Placid, celebrating the holidays is a month-long event and it begins with the Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll. It's a weekend full of family-friendly activities, food and beverage tastings, live music and entertainment, and holiday traditions that will leave you singing, "it's the most wonderful time of the year."
