Jammin’ Events Happening in the Lake George Region

Popular Cheese Jam Returns to Nettle Meadow

Local cheese, live music, and proceeds going towards a great cause? Count us in! This Saturday, check out the annual Cheese Jam at Nettle Meadow Farm’s Warrensburg location. Doors open at 5pm so guests can visit the farm and sanctuary animals before live music starts at 6pm. Attendees will enjoy delicious ice cream, local beer and wine, and of course their award-winning cheese.

All proceeds from this event go towards Nettle Meadow’s Kemp Animal Sanctuary, to help care for the 100+ animals that call the place home. These creatures consist of older or differently abled sheep and goats from Nettle Meadow’s flock, along with other farm animals like horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, bunnies, and more that were dropped off here when they had no place else to go.

Get Your Taste Buds Ready for a Sensational BBQ Fest

Barbecue food and blues music are happening all weekend long at the first-ever Lake George BBQ & Blues Festival at Charles R. Wood Park. Barbecue fare will come from Smoke Shack Barbecue, The Corner Grill, Barnsider Smokehouse Restaurant, Reggae Boy Cafe, Sarita’s Food Truck, The Ice Cream Man, and there will be a beer garden sponsored by Boston Beer.

Soul Sky, George Boone Blues Band, Matt Mirabile Band, Sly Fox and the Hustlers, and The Switch are the bluesy groups scheduled to perform.

There’s a New Lake George Book You Can Buy

Boathouses of Lake George: A Journey Around the Queen of American Lakes by Trinket Mason was released this month and is available for sale now. As explained on the website boathousesoflakegeorge.com, many people admire the lake from boathouses, but this book attempts to do the opposite – appreciating the boathouses from the water, as the author takes you all around the lake.
