Waterhole has announced the 2025 lineup for Saranac Lake’s Winter Carnival providing music bringing in 13 acts throughout the duration of the yearly event. The legendary music venue is located right in downtown Saranac Lake, NY and is the place to be for all things live music.

The Winter Carnival fun will kick off with The Mallett Brothers Band and Eastbound Jesus on January 31st and closes out February 9th for a free “Bloody Mary Sunday” show with Arthur Buezo on February 9th. Blind Owl Band will be playing two shows on weekend 1 of the carnival with February 1st’s performance being completely sold out. You still have a chance to get tickets for their February 2nd show. For this year’s free post parade party, The Big Takeover will be returning to get the music going leading into a night with Funk You and Chestnut Grove back at Waterhole.
