Record attendance on July 4

In Canyon Lake’s first major event since the statewide opening on June 15, the Sunday July 4 celebration appears to be one of the busiest and most celebrated events in the history of the community. The pent-up demand to get together, play and celebrate vacations coupled with perfect summer weather is expected to translate into huge crowds of residents and their guests.

With the July 4th weather forecast around 90 degrees and sunny, the Canyon Lakers can’t wait to put on swimsuits and hit the lake. Likewise, backyard barbecues will be revived and guests invited to eat and then enjoy fireworks from almost anywhere in the community.

After a long, hot day of swimming, sunbathing and boating, the fireworks show will begin around 9:00 pm As in the past, the fireworks will be launched from Skipper’s Island.

To enhance the experience, spectators can tune their radios to 99.9 FM to listen to music synchronized with the fireworks show from anywhere around the lake. From the Lodge patio, Mike Shroyer of Good Time Entertainment will also play pre-show music, including a live performance of the American Anthem just before the fireworks start.

To help Canyon Lakers have a more fun and less stressful day, the POA has provided instructions and directions for the various equipment and routes. Anyone spending the day at Canyon Lake on Independence Day should take a moment and review the following information, including the map below
