Downtown and along the waterfront, you’ll find local restaurants, art studios, live music and welcoming places to stay. Visit The Mill ADK for creative workshops and community events, enjoy a summer day at the Essex County Fair, or experience seasonal celebrations like the Adirondack Harvest Festival.
