54th Annual Arts & Crafts Fair

The Schroon Lake Association will be holding its 55th Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 10:00am - 4:00pm. This extremely popular fair is held in the Town Park overlooking Schroon Lake.  All the profits that the SLA derives from the Fair go toward our continuing efforts to protect and maintain the health and welfare of the lake (e.g., hiring a certified lake manager as a consultant, funding scientific studies of the lake water, underwriting the fees involved in CSLAP and ensuring that there are sufficient funds for milfoil harvesting).
