SARANAC LAKE — It’s time to consider theme ideas for the 2025 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival.

The Winter Carnival Committee is inviting the community to offer some ideas. All suggestions should be family friendly, not be trademarked and not used in the past 20 years.

Suggestions can now be made through the Winter Carnival website, www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com, by clicking on the banner scrolling on the homepage or the quick launch tab on the right of the home page, or by emailing saranaclakewintercarnival1@gmail.com. The deadline to submit ideas is March 12.

The Winter Carnival Committee will meet that evening to review all suggestions and narrow choices to five potential themes. The results will be announced on March 13 and a final decision will be made in April.

A list of past theme ideas can be found on www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com and below.
