Games & Activities

Get ready for some fun in the sun! We’ve got a full lineup of games and activities to keep the good times rolling all day long. Challenge your friends to a round of giant beer pong, cornhole, or giant Jenga—or just grab a super soaker and cool off in style. Whether you’re looking for some friendly competition or just a chance to kick back, there’s something for everyone.

Need a break? Relax in one of our shaded seating areas and soak in the stunning views of the Adirondack Mountains and the playful lake creatures while you sip your favorite brew.

We’re adding more fun as the festival gets closer, so check back here for updates to our activity lineup!
