North Country Live (“NCL”) is the organizer and curator of live community events based in Sackets Harbor, New York. Spearheaded by its Executive Director, Mike Ricca, in association with the Domani Vision Film Society/AWEdacity Media Group, NCL strives to deliver cultural, artistic, and special niche entertainment events throughout the year to boost local commerce - generating increased traffic for area hotels, restaurants, retail shops, and hospitality vendors. These initiatives position Sackets Harbor as a cultural destination, contributing to seasonal tourism while reinforcing its reputation as a hub for the arts and creative innovation. With the North Country Comedy Festival already officially scheduled to run from October 23 to 25, 2025, at the Sackets Harbor Ballroom, and the North Country Film Festival in the works for Summer 2026 dates to be announced, NCL has already set forth its mission to make these North Country events household names through strategic partnerships, vendor booths, and sponsorships, creating new opportunities for local businesses and artisans to engage with visitors, ensuring that the positive impact extends beyond the dates of the events.
