Sharing the Fire 2026 and 2027 will all be held at the historic, beautiful, and completely renovated Queensbury Hotel. We are excited to celebrate their 100th Birthday with them in 2026!
The Queensbury Hotel in downtown Glens Falls has been regarded as the city’s centerpiece since 1926. “The Q” features 123 newly renovated and carefully appointed guest rooms with contemporary room designs and classic comforts. Amenities include a large indoor heated pool and hot tub, two restaurants, free parking, free high-speed wi-fi, a fitness center, a salon, live jazz, refrigerators in all guest rooms, EV Charging Stations, and more - all within walking distance of numerous downtown restaurants and shops!
Location
The Q is centrally located between Saratoga Springs and Lake George, in the Arts District of historic and charming Glens Falls in upstate New York. Fabulous restaurants, shopping, and attractions are within walking distance. We will be blocks away from the Wood Theater, LARAC (Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council) Arts Services Center and Gallery, the Folklife Center at Crandall Library, and the Glens Falls Hospital. Come early or stay late to head into the Adirondack Mountains, down to Saratoga Springs or up to Lake George and experience four seasons of fun and attractions.
