In the southern Adirondacks, the 11th Annual Memorial Day Bash at Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery returns to Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery on Saturday, May 23, 2026, offering a full-day Adirondack celebration of live music, local makers, and handcrafted spirits.

Set just outside Lake George in Fort Ann, this Memorial Day weekend event blends festival energy with the relaxed charm of a working farm distillery.

A Memorial Day weekend tradition in the Adirondacks.

Now in its 11th year, the Memorial Day Bash has become one of the southern Adirondacks’ most anticipated early-summer gatherings. It’s equal parts music festival, artisan market, and community picnic—set against rolling fields and mountain views that feel Adirondack unmistakably.

The event serves as an unofficial kickoff to summer in the Lake George region. Travelers planning a long weekend—and locals eager to shake off mud season—will find an easygoing, welcoming atmosphere that leans more toward a backyard gathering than a big-ticket festival.

Live music, food trucks, and Adirondack makers.

The day’s soundtrack features a lineup of regional favorites, including Richie Ortiz, North & South Dakotas, and Gratefully Yours. Expect a mix of Americana, rock, and jam-band energy—perfect for an afternoon spent drifting between the stage, the bar, and the vendor tents.

Food trucks round out the experience with a range of casual bites, from sweet treats at Just B’cause Bake Sale to Maine-style lobster from Cousin Maine Lobster. Kona Ice and U-Turn Food Truck ensure there’s something for every craving, whether you’re fueling up or just grazing.

A curated group of local vendors adds another layer of discovery. Shoppers can browse everything from Adirondack-inspired décor and fine art to handmade textiles, ceramics, and specialty goods—making it easy to leave with something that feels uniquely tied to the region.

Family-friendly Adirondack festival vibes.

New for 2026, the event expands with a dedicated Kids Zone and family-friendly activities, broadening its appeal beyond the typical distillery crowd. It’s a notable shift—and one that reflects a growing trend across Adirondack events: experiences designed for multi-generational groups.

Parents can enjoy cocktails crafted from Springbrook Hollow’s small-batch spirits while kids explore, play, and stay engaged. The result is a more inclusive event that feels just as suitable for families as it does for groups of friends.

What makes Springbrook Hollow a standout Lake George event.

Part of the appeal lies in the setting itself. Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery is more than a venue—it’s a destination rooted in Adirondack craft culture. Known for its grain-to-glass spirits and rustic tasting room, the distillery offers a sense of place that elevates the event beyond a typical festival.

Adirondack distilled spirits Limoncello produced by Springbrook Hollow Farm — We highly recommend Sprinbrook’s limoncello and orangecello.

There’s a distinctly Adirondack rhythm here: live music drifting over open fields, handcrafted cocktails in hand, and a steady flow of conversation between locals and visitors. It’s not overly polished—and that’s exactly the point.

ADK Taste recommendation.

Arrive early—late morning if possible—to secure easy parking and claim a good spot near the stage before the afternoon crowds build. Plan to stay for a full rotation of the music lineup, and don’t skip the vendor tents early in the day when selections are freshest.
