Fourth of July weekend is quickly approaching. This year there are several things that will be happening down at the beach and at Lions Park. Please plan accordingly if you are choosing to head to the beach or boat ramp during the weekend.

First off, on July 3rd in Lions Park we have the Red, White and BBQ Country Music Festival, along with the fireworks on the beach. On July 4th, we have Oh Yeah music festival in Lions Park. Please be advised that during both festivals the park is off limits to setting up tents or reserving space.

During this weekend we are expecting record crowds. Parking at beach and in the beach overflow lot will fill very quickly, so please plan accordingly. During this weekend, there will be a shuttle service running from Oselka Park to downtown and the beach. If both lots are full, please feel free to use Oselka Park. The boat ramp will also fill very quickly, and space is limited, please feel free to call ahead and see if space is available. The boat ramp number is 296-469-1522.
