Americade 2021

[lqqk_out]

It looks like the traditional dates for the Americade event have been changed this year due to Covid-19. The new announced dates are:

Event: Americade 2021
Dates: 09/21/2021 to 09/25/2021
Location: Lake George, NY

The event has traditionally been held during the first full week in June.
Since this change was just announced yesterday, you can easily find a site at the Lake George Battleground campground if you enjoy camping. This campground is very convenient to the event.

could be cold and rainy that time of year in upstate NY

Talked to a few people about going this year but after the mess last year I think I'll pass. Maybe make a day trip up.

What was the mess that happened last year?
I've never been to Americade, but it's a possibility I might be able to get there this year, so I'm curious.

We had all our camping reservations made for June. We have trips planned for Tennessee in Sept. Would have been nice if they notified everyone before January about the changes.
The weather is bad enough in June. Probably worse in late Sept. Plus nothing about what events are going to be held. I doubt very much that many vendors will show up. They already have their schedules set.
I sure hope they do something about the Friday night festivities. Two years ago the town was nothing but a drunk fest. Ruined the entire day.

I use to go a long time ago was fun I haven’t gone since but to only go to vendors to buy something place is crazy and yes lots of drunks getting more like sturgis or Florida also it could be nice but mostly it will be cold and rainy I live 2 hrs from the place it could snow also if it’s cold enough

A couple of us planned on going together, got reservations at camp ground. Then they changed dates so we had to cancel reservations, tried to get new ones but they were booked up where we were going to stay so looked around for new place and then they canceled the event...
This year I'm waiting until a couple weeks prior and then calling around for reservations "IF" we go. If we have to stay an hour away, that's OK. Might just make it a day trip and back...
