Adirondack Nationals Car Show

Check back for details in 2023!

Hear the roars of the thundering engines –  The 33rd Annual Adirondack Nationals Car Show is here!

The Adirondack Nationals Car Show, brought to us by Albany Rods and Kustoms, is a cannot-miss, family-friendly car show! People bring their classic cars to Fort William Henry Hotel & Conference Center in Lake George Village every year to be admired and in hopes of winning the ultimate prize! Spectators love strolling row-after-row of amazing cars, trucks, and more. This Lake George car show stars hundreds of beautiful classic cars, hot rods, trucks, customs, and more!

Back by popular demand this year, the Adirondack Nationals Kick Off Party will take place 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday and feature a “1970s” theme!

The festival area is a paradise for true car aficionados. Here they’ll find automotive related items like parts, equipment, services, and much more.

Cruises on Canada Street Friday and Saturday are a sight to see! Lake George Village is transformed into a sea of hot rods, classic trucks, customs, and more! Either show your own registered car off, or watch classic cars of every make, model, and color cruise Canada Street. Cruises run north to south on Canada Street, then back the way they came.

The Adirondack Nationals Car Show Award Ceremony is held in front of Fort William Henry. Come show support for the winners and see if your favorite vehicles took home an award! Awards include the Senior Winners, Favorite 50 Cars, Favorite Corvette Award, Favorite Mustang Award, President’s Pick Award, Ladies’ Choice, Sheriff’s Pick, and over two dozen more!

Not into cars? You’ll still love the car show! There are all kinds of family activities, a Women’s Oasis, a kid’s coloring contest, fireworks, 50/50 raffles, plenty of vendors, DJ music all day long, tours of the Fort William Henry Museum, free trolleys to the Factory Outlets of Lake George, and lots more.

The 50/50 raffle is held twice a day on both Saturday and Sunday. Raffle tickets are only $5.00! Winners will be announced during the award ceremonies, and you must be present to win. All proceeds are given to charity.

The children’s coloring activity is perfect for kids 12 and under who want to take a break from all of the cars. Kids color their favorite cars ! Held in the rear of the hotel overlooking the lake on Saturday from 10:00 am until the artwork is complete!

And at 10 p.m. Saturday, get ready to feast your eyes and ears on the sights and sounds of a spectacular fireworks display over Lake George!
