A Taste of Fall: High Peaks Harvest Festival in Saranac Lake

The village of Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks.

Fall shopping in Saranac Lake comes with a worthwhile distraction: lunch, local libations, and an afternoon soundtrack.

The High Peaks Harvest Festival returns Saturday, October 17, 2026, bringing a farmers’ market, artisan goods, food trucks, and live music to Main Street and Berkeley Green in this Adirondack village.

The day begins with the Saranac Lake Farmers’ Market at 10 am. Festival activities follow from 12 pm – 4 pm, giving visitors time to browse regional produce and crafts before turning their attention to something ready to eat.

Start at the Saranac Lake Farmers’ Market.

This year’s event places the market along Main Street outside Hotel Saranac, with festival activities at nearby Berkeley Green. Fresh produce, local goods, and artisan vendors make browsing part of the occasion, whether the mission is stocking the kitchen or finding something handmade.

Berkeley Green sits at the intersection of Broadway and Main Street, right in downtown Saranac Lake. The setting keeps the celebration in the village’s everyday gathering space, rather than sending visitors out to a separate festival ground.

Food, craft drinks, and live music at Berkeley Green.

Food trucks provide the afternoon’s eats, while regional breweries and distilleries bring craft beverages. Specific menus and participating businesses have not yet been announced, so visitors should leave room for discovery rather than arrive with a particular dish in mind.

Local musicians perform from 1 pm – 4 pm. Children’s activities are also planned throughout the afternoon, making the festival a good fit for families, market browsers, and anyone who enjoys an unhurried combination of food and music.

ADK Taste insight.

The festival also marks a seasonal handoff: the transition to the indoor Winter Market at Hotel Saranac. High Peaks Farmers’ Markets, a program of the Adirondack North Country Association, co-hosts the celebration with the Village of Saranac Lake and Hotel Saranac.

ADK Taste recommendation.

Begin with the market before noon, then make time for food and the music starting at 1 pm. Visitors arriving only at 10 am should know that the afternoon festival activities have not yet begun.
