Event Details:

Music begins at 4 p.m.; and at 9 p.m., after a tribute to our service men and women, they Light Up The Lake with a spectacular fireworks display set to music. The recommended viewing area for fireworks is next to Lake of the Woods Pavilion, near the Little Golden Gate Bridge. A number of people also sit on the peninsula on the other side of the Little Golden Gate Bridge. It is possible that the music will not be heard as easily on that side, although we do try, and the ground displays are not always visible from that area.

This is the last year for the Freedom Fest, so get out there and have a great time!
