August 17th is the BIG DAY! Come and enjoy the American Legion Band Concert at 7:30pm at the bandshell, then turn your chairs toward Lac LaBelle for the lighted boat parade followed by the FIREWORKS!

We would LOVE more boats in the parade and it’s not too late to enter. Email [email protected] for information. No pressure, no theme, just fun!! We hope to see you there! And remember to tune into 107.5FM on your radio to hear the concert and the emcee.

It’s time!!! Time to register for this year’s Lighted Boat Parade. The 2024 Parade is dedicated to Sarah Wierdsma. Sarah was an avid fan of the parade and got to cross it off her bucket list last year with this beauty. We lost Sarah too soon, but her positive spirit lives on. Her favorite Dave Matthew’s lyric was….” Celebrate we will because life is short but sweet for certain.”

Let’s make this year’s parade the best ever in honor of Sarah….

To register email [email protected] and we will connect with you to get the details.

No theme. No pressure…..just FUN!!

Welcome to Light Up the Lake! This year’s event will be Saturday August 19 (rain date August 20). The 2023 festivities are dedicated to honoring and celebrating the life of Chookie Kilander and his years of keeping the event fun and safe.

The night begins with the Legion concert at the Bandshell at City Beach at 7:30 pm. Typically this is followed by a lighted boat parade. We are gauging the interest in the parade. If you are interested in entering a boat in the parade please let us know! We will have a parade if we get more than three boats to sign up.

At dusk we will have a wonderful fireworks show. We are currently fundraising to make the show the best one yet! More information on how to donate to the fireworks will be posted soon.

Looking forward to a great night for our great community!!
