In an attempt to give new life to this celebration we are going back to the original name and changing the date. From 9am-4pm on August 27^th the best of Tupper Lake will be coming together to create a day that shows what Tupper Lake has to offer.

Coupons will be printed in the August 24^th edition of the Tupper Lake Free Press with deals for local restaurants and food vendors. These coupons will also be handed out during the event to encourage tourists to Shop Tupper Lake. The State Theater will be playing a FREE family friendly movie in the afternoon.

Why should you shop Tupper Lake?

Local economic stimulus.

When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nationally-owned, more money is kept in the community. This is because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses and service providers. Purchasing locally helps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base.

Non-Profits receive Greater Support.

Local business owners donate more to local charities!

Unique businesses create character & prosperity.

The unique character of your local community is defined in large part by the businesses that reside there. They play a big factor in the overall satisfaction of where you live and the value of your home and property.

Your local businesses sponsor softball and tee ball teams. They buy ads for the high school plays and donate endlessly to our local food pantry. We encourage everyone to help in thanking our local businesses on August 27^th by shopping locally.
