The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake will present its Soup Social & Holiday Sing tonight, Friday, December  2nd, at 6 pm. Visitors can sample delicious soups and stews from their neighbors and bring one to share as the Center celebrates the end of their 2016 season.

This event is free and open to the public will also feature songs of the holiday season by some of the Arts Center’s favorite performers, along with a holiday sing-along.
