Souper Saturday Returns To Long Lake With A Cozy, Community-Fueled Winter Feast
Nothing says winter like a delicious bowl of soup.
When winter settles into the heart of the Adirondacks, Long Lake knows exactly how to warm things up. On Saturday, December 27, 2025, the community invites locals and visitors alike to indulge in one of its most comforting traditions: Souper Saturday—a town-wide celebration of soup, stew, chili, and small-town hospitality.
Perfectly timed between holiday festivities and the much-anticipated Feeling Long Lakey Polar Plunge, Souper Saturday offers a delicious excuse to stroll through town, support local businesses, and savor the flavors that make Long Lake such a special place year-round.
A delicious way to explore Long Lake.
Home-made chili
Souper Saturday is equal parts culinary crawl and community gathering. Participating restaurants and shops throughout Long Lake will serve 3-ounce portions of house-made soups, stews, and chilis for just $3 each, making it easy—and affordable—to sample multiple creations in one afternoon.
From classic comfort foods to creative seasonal recipes, this event highlights the talent, heart, and generosity of Long Lake’s local chefs and business owners. Whether you prefer creamy chowders, hearty stews, or slow-simmered chili, Souper Saturday invites you to taste, compare, and maybe even debate which stop takes the top spoon.
Participating locations.
This year’s Souper Saturday lineup features a mix of beloved eateries, gathering spots, and local favorites:
Adirondack Hotel
ADK Trading Post
Long Lake Diner & Owl’s Head Pub
Brookside Hops & Hoagie’s
Waypoint Cafe
Long View Lodge
Stewart’s Shops
Each location brings its own personality—and its own pot—to the table, turning the entire hamlet into a walkable winter food festival.
More than soup—it’s community.
At its core, Souper Saturday is about more than what’s in the bowl. It’s about supporting small businesses during one of the busiest—and most important—times of the year. Every spoonful helps sustain locally owned restaurants and shops that keep Long Lake vibrant through all four seasons.
The event also offers a welcoming way for visitors to experience Long Lake beyond the snowmobile trails and frozen lake. Souper Saturday encourages conversation, connection, and that uniquely Adirondack feeling of being instantly at home—even if it’s your first visit.
Pair it with a polar plunge.
Souper Saturday pairs perfectly with the Feeling Long Lakey Polar Plunge, happening the same day at Long Lake Town Beach. Whether you’re braving the icy waters yourself or cheering on the plungers, a warm bowl of soup afterward feels especially earned. Think of it as the ultimate hot-and-cold Adirondack experience.
Plan your day
Souper Saturday is designed to be easy, flexible, and fun. Grab a few friends, bundle up, and make your way around town at your own pace. With small portions and budget-friendly pricing, you can sample widely—or revisit a favorite for seconds.
If you’re looking for a simple way to support local businesses, connect with the community, and stay warm during the holiday season, this Long Lake tradition delivers comfort by the cup.
