Take in the gorgeous views of the Hudson River during the fall season and enjoy a catered deli-style lunch from the well-known Cascades, a fixture in Hudson since 1933. Free time is included in the afternoon to visit some art galleries and shops of your choosing in Downtown Hudson.

Special Recognition: Mayor Ray Perry, Village of Lake George
From the very beginning, the Lake George Arts Project has relied on the Shepard Park bandstand as a centerpiece of our mission. It has been our stage, our gathering space, and the place where generations have come together to experience free performances by thousands of artists. Our Summer Concert Series, Jazz at the Lake, and countless special events have found a home there – programs that have introduced new voices, built community traditions, and brought world-class talent to the town and village we all love. The bandstand has never been just a bandstand; it has been the heart of our work, and a symbol of what arts and community can create together.
This year, we will be honoring Mayor Ray Perry for his tireless work realizing a new Shepard Park. He brought partners together, secured the much-needed resources, and inspired all of us to reimagine a space that has had an immeasurable impact on the lives of residents and visitors. His vision for the project not only strengthens the cultural heart of our community, it establishes a world-class performance venue that will stand as a testament to what a shared commitment to the arts, bold leadership, and collective purpose can achieve.

TICKETS: $50 for members / $55 for non-membersPlease RSVP by December 1, 2025Members Save $5!

The RSVP deadline has passed but we would still love to have you join us! If you are interested in attending, please email Tanya (Tanya@lakegeorgearts.org) to coordinate payment at the door.
