What is Music On The Green?

The summer tradition of free Wednesday evening concerts in Riverside Park continues with Music on the Green. This concert series takes place seasonally in Saranac Lake with a mission to provide live music for all ages at an accessible outdoor venue. Over the last ten years, 68 different musical ensembles have graced the MOTG stage. Performances have featured alternative rock, blues, folk, indie, jazz, swing, and music that doesn't fit into any singular category. All shows start at 7pm.
