Special Events

Lakeside is a unique and exciting place to vacation and visit. You are guaranteed a performance every evening, a chance for fellowship and worship, a place for intellectual stimulation and a venue for cultural events. Each Chautauqua season, our programming highlights include special events – some are tradition and some are new additions. Look for old-fashion fun at the Ice Cream Social or an opportunity to take in the arts by attending the Art Show Sneak Preview or the Symphony Candlelight Showcase. Every year we expand and improve our special events. Check out this year’s schedule below and the Calendar of Events throughout the season.
