Best 4th In The North Best 4th In The North Celebration! We are a group of Volunteers dedicated to maintaining the Ticonderoga Tradition of our four days Fourth of July Festivities.

09/29/2026

Ticonderoga's Fourth of July celebration is a cherished community tradition. To ensure these festivities continue for years to come, we are seeking community members interested in forming a new Fourth of July committee to take on the planning and coordination of this important event.

Whether you have experience organizing events, connections within the community, or simply a desire to volunteer, your participation would be greatly appreciated!

We are continuing to work with the Town of Ticonderoga in hopes of reestablishing a municipal committee, similar to those in many other communities. An event of this magnitude requires significant coordination, including municipal collaboration, insurance coverage, regulatory compliance, public safety and logistical planning. A formal committee structure would help provide the communication, oversight and organizational support necessary to make the celebration successful.

Interested in helping? We encourage anyone who would like to serve on or help establish the new committee to contact the Town of Ticonderoga directly.

To support a smooth transition, we also have the planning materials, organizational information and resources from Ticonderoga's 250th celebration available to share with the new committee. There's no need to start from scratch!

With community involvement and continued collaboration with the Town, we hope to ensure that Ticonderoga's Fourth of July festivities remain a tradition for generations to come.

Please consider getting involved and help spread the word! 🇺🇸

Thank you again to everyone who came out and helped make the Best 4th in the North such a special week for our community. We are so grateful for the support, the energy, and the love shown for Ticonderoga.

We are already excited to start brainstorming the best path forward for next year and how we can keep building on this tradition together.

And if you are still in town, visiting, or just looking for something fun to do this weekend, please come out to our first Summer Social this Sunday from 12–6!
Kate MD will be playing two sets of live music, and we will have food trucks, pony rides, a bounce house, large yard games, and good old-fashioned community fun. There will be great barbecue, Mexican food, seafood, and plenty of space to picnic and relax.

The weather is looking beautiful, and with many local restaurants closed on Sundays, this is a perfect chance to grab some food, bring a blanket or chairs, and spend the afternoon together.

We hope to see you there! North Country Roots North Country Rural Development Coalition

There’s a TON of behind the scenes people and vendors that go into putting on any event. A lot of times those are things that we never think about unless something goes wrong then we see just how crucial their jobs are.
We wanted to thank some of the people who are operating behind the scenes to make sure the Best 4th in the North runs smoothly.

Geraws OK Septic Services who not only supplied the PortaPotties in a ton of locations but also serviced them every single day to keep them as clean as possible. When dealing with thousands of people that is an immense undertaking! Call Geraw’s at 518-597-3634

J. P. Waste Management, LLC who provided the HUGE dumpster and those red trash cans you see everywhere! Without this essential service no events would be possible. Call J.P. Waste at 518-217-5414

Amusements of America whose staff has been incredible. They have dedicated individuals who are out nonstop picking up trash and cleaning. This park has been absolutely spotless every single day! They also have staff on golf carts overseeing everything and making sure the wheels keep turning smoothly.

But truly there are so many people to thank for making sure this event has been a success. Numerous volunteers and entities!
