The quickest way to find out what is going is to check the Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks master arts calendar for the area.

Saranac Lake Waterhole another fine SL place it draws in big national acts. In it's early days this was Waterhole #3 and it has been through lots of changes.
Lake Placid Institute: This organization does a lot of things but my favorite is a lecture program that brings notable people to speak in Lake Placid.
