Flaming Leaves Festival at the Olympic Ski Jumps: Peak Foliage, Live Music, and US Ski Jumping Championships — October 10-11

Every October the Olympic Ski Jumps complex in Lake Placid hosts a festival that reminds you how much is possible when a community leans into its landscape. The Flaming Leaves Festival fills a weekend with live music, local vendors, food and drinks, and family activities — while the US Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined National Championships happen overhead. The top ski jumpers in the country soar against a backdrop of Adirondack peaks in full autumn color. This is the kind of scene that earns the drive.

Date: Saturday–Sunday, October 10–11, 2026 Time: All day Location: Olympic Ski Jumps, 5486 Cascade Rd., Lake Placid, NY 12946 Cost: TBD — see olympicjumpingcomplex.com for ticket details
