Riverside Park

History 

In 2014, the Village of Saranac Lake established the Downtown Advisory Board (DAB), a group comprised of downtown business and property owners, downtown event representatives, and downtown residents who volunteer their time to make recommendations to the Saranac Lake Village Board of Trustees. One of the first actions of DAB was to form a committee to breathe new energy into the downtown concert series in Saranac Lake and help to establish the village as a cultural hub. This is how Music on the Green (MOTG) was born. The MOTG Summer Concert Series provides free weekly concerts during the summer thanks to volunteer support, business sponsorships, and grants. In the past, Berkeley Green in Downtown Saranac Lake served as the venue, while today, the bandshell in Riverside Park is the MOTG stage. Over the past 5 years, the series has grown to be a much-anticipated village event that attracts locals and visitors alike. Attendees of all ages come to enjoy the music and entertainment provided by our visual artists.
