Best 4th in the North – America’s 250th Carnival

Downtown Ticonderoga is preparing for a very special year as we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary and continue one of our community’s most beloved traditions, the Best 4th in the North. This year the celebration is expanding with the return of a full carnival midway through a partnership between NRDC and Amusements of America, one of the nation’s premier traveling carnival companies.
