The Best 4^th In the North Celebration attracts many visitors to the Ticonderoga Area, which supports local businesses and the local economy. A schedule for the 2024 celebration is being finalized by the committee and will be available to the public soon.

The celebration will take place July 1^st – 4^th, 2024 with a grand fireworks display, parade, Montcalm Mile (organized by the LaChute Road Runners), music, food, vendors, games, and more. The committee is always working to bring new aspects to the event.

Without the support of our area businesses and community members the Best 4^th In The North celebration would not be possible. The celebration costs approximately over $50,000 each year with most of that being raised by the volunteer committee. The Town of Ticonderoga does support the celebration with $10,000. Donations in support of the committee’s efforts are tax-deductible as the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a 501c3 Not-For Profit organization.

The Best 4^th in The North committee also needs more volunteers to help with the planning, fundraising and during the celebration. The committee typically meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 4:00 PM at the Chamber Office in Downtown Ticonderoga.
