Protecting Lake George takes all of us. Lake George Association events are designed to bring people together around that shared purpose.

From community gatherings and educational programs to thought-leadership summits and celebrations on the shores of the Queen of American Lakes, every LGA event is an opportunity to connect with others who care deeply about clean water, conservation and the future of Lake George.

Whether you’re looking to learn, give back, meet others in the community or simply spend meaningful time by the Lake, we invite you to join us.
