WOW! On behalf of the Saranac Lake PorchFest Committee, we would love to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make the 2026 Saranac Lake PorchFest an incredible huge success.

What only began last year, as a simple idea to celebrate local music, community, and our unique village, has quickly grown into a day that brought together hundreds of people, from near and far together. We were able to double our number of musicians, hosts, and sponsors. It was great to see so many new faces join us and returning ones as well. And having local businesses join in on the fun this year as hosts. The energy throughout the village was truly inspiring and uplifting.

This event would not be possibly without our amazing porch hosts, talented musicians, our dedicated volunteers (Diana Gill, Bob Gill, Sandy Campbell, and CJ Catalano), generous sponsors (Bitters & Bones, Mercer Advisors | Long Run, Early Dawn Confections, Bing Bang Boom, Adirondack Health, Hyde Fuel, Elevate ADK Cannabis Dispensary, Adirondack Stiles Real Estate Company, Woods & Waters, High Peaks Wine & Spirits, Hex & Hop, Nori’s, Coldwell Banker Whitbeck, Carcuzzi Car Care Center, and North Country Public Radio), local craft artists selling their artwork at various locations with help from Saranac Lake ArtWorks, ROOST for designing our posters and banner, Adirondack Carousel assistance with the Saranac Lake PorchFest Kid Zone with help from LoonWorks Family Entertainment for creating amazing balloon art & Miss Brandy’s Brushwork for the wonderfully creative face paintings on the kids and everyone who attended. This day is unforgettable!

We also owe a HUGE thank you to Saranac Lake Kiwanis Club for being our fiscal sponsor this year! Saranac Lake PorchFest is more than just music and seeing our community come together for another fun village/town event. It’s about helping and supporting local young artists from Mountain Melodies and Camp Pendragon. Every sponsorship or personal donation and merchandise purchase, helps support these young artists.

Lastly, Saranac Lake, for opening your porches, your businesses, your talent, and your hearts! We can’t wait to see what we’ll create together next year. Be sure to check out our website at: www.saranaclakeporchfest.org to see more information.

Sincerely,
Saranac Lake PorchFest Committee
