The Community Block Party, an annual event in years gone by, was revived last year. Former Village Mayor and Events Director Robert Blais worked to bring back the event, saying, “We do hundreds of special events for our visitors each year. This event is designed specifically for our locals and neighbors.” The Community Block Party is designed to showcase the good work done by Lake George non-profits. Party attendees are encouraged to support these organizations.
All children’s activities are free. Proceeds from sales will benefit local non-profits.
