Jazz At The Lake
Friday – Sunday, September 12-14, 2025!
Now in our 41st year, Jazz at the Lake is one of the Northeast’s premier jazz festivals. Set against the backdrop of beautiful Lake George, Jazz at the Lake (Lake George Jazz Weekend) celebrates the vibrant and diverse genre of jazz and brings together talented musicians from around the country.
Free music festivals are disappearing but The Lake George Arts Project is committed to keeping our festival FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. Created with our mission of providing income opportunities for artists and presenting high-quality arts programming for the region in mind, Jazz at the Lake promotes artistic expression, creates enriching cultural experiences, and supports artists and our local economy.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Gruskin Creative for their years of generous support and their dedication to one of our most vital programs. We are also thankful to the Town of Lake George, the Village of Lake George, the New York State Council on the Arts, Anonymous, and our members and donors for supporting this year’s Jazz at the Lake.
Tanya & Daniel and contracting artists right now! Stay tuned!
What you can expect:
How much does it cost to attend?
Not even a penny (though we do accept donations to help support the program)!
What is the venue like?
The venue is the Shepard Park Amphitheater and is an open-air stage with Lake George as our backdrop. There is stone, tiered seating, but many attendees bring chairs and blankets and sit in the grass surrounding the stage.
Is there food and drink?
We do have food vendors and there are lots of amazing places in town for food and drink.
What do you do if it rains?
What is rain?!? In all seriousness, we are constantly watching the weather predictions for the event. If the day is going to be a washout, The Lake George High School Theater/ Auditorium is our rain location. Visit this page for updates or call us at 518-668-2616.
