Lake George BBQ Fest: For the Love of Mountains & Meat

Lake George tourism has gotten absolutely smoked in the last year as a result of the pandemic and now that things are opening back up, it's officially time to smoke beef and pork and not the tourism industry.   If you're passionate about mountains and meat, this August weekend is made for you.  More than finger-licking deliciousness, the first ever Lake George BBQ Festival will have plenty of other things to do for the entire family.
