The 41st Annual Jazz at the Lake in Lake George, NY | Sept. 12th – 14th, 2025
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. Ranked as one of the top 20 longest, consecutive-running jazz festivals in the country, our festival also boasts one of only two spots in the top twenty that are entirely free.
We like to say everybody that attends Jazz at the Lake is a VIP! We don’t give the best seats to the people who pay the most – anybody and everybody can sit in the front row and meet the artists. YOU can help us keep Jazz at the Lake FREE and open to all by supporting our Matching Grant Challenge. Every dollar you give will be doubled, thanks to Gruskin Creative – that means twice the impact to keep the music alive, accessible, and extraordinary!
Let’s keep the front row open to everyone!
