Adirondack Winter Pride celebrates the LGBTQ community with a weekend that features a range of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages throughout Lake Placid and at the region’s historic Olympic venues. Activities include a welcome reception, skiing at Whiteface Mountain along with an aprs-ski party, access to Olympic venues, cross-country skiing, and more.

According to Eileen Mowrey, Lake Placid and Whiteface Region manager for the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, the event is expected to draw new and returning visitors to the area.

“We’re excited to welcome attendees back to the Lake Placid region and hope visitors will take time to explore our local businesses and attractions before and after programmed events,” Mowrey said. “We encourage business owners and managers to think creatively about ways to get involved — whether that’s hosting an evening event or welcome party, offering a special package, or adding a signature cocktail or appetizer to the menu. There are so many great ways to make visitors feel at home.”
