Help us make our town shine brighter than ever this summer as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday!
The Central Adirondack Association is inviting all local businesses to join in the patriotic fun by decorating your storefronts, windows, displays, and properties in red, white, and blue. Let’s work together to create a festive, welcoming community for residents and visitors throughout the summer season.
Businesses that participate will be entered for a chance to be crowned “Best in Show” by the CAA. Judging will be all in good fun, with prizes, bragging rights, and plenty of community spirit on the line!
Whether you go all out with flags, lights, patriotic displays, Adirondack-inspired Americana, or creative window decorations, we encourage everyone to get involved and help make our town a destination worthy of this historic celebration.
Let’s celebrate America’s 250th together and show visitors what community pride looks like in the Adirondacks!
Decorations should be up by July 1 and remain on display through the judging period. More details and judging criteria will be announced soon.
Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with us by joining Old Forge and the Central Adirondack Association for a town-wide Decoration Contest.
We’re inviting local businesses to help make Old Forge shine for the 4th of July by decorating storefronts, windows, and outdoor spaces in a patriotic theme. Think red, white, and blue, along with flags, stars, lights, and festive Americana décor.
Judges will visit participating businesses sometime between July 1 and July 6, and decorations must remain up during that time to be considered. Be on the lookout for them, because they take their jobs very seriously. They’ll be judging on creativity, patriotic spirit, and overall wow factor.
Let’s come together to honor America’s 250th and fill our town with patriotic spirit.
