Due to current Public Health guidelines, the Lakeshore Lions have announced that this year’s celebration will not include the Annual Parade, Carnival, or Classic Car Show.

2020 Independence Day FEstival Schedule - July 4, 2020 - Austin Park

• 4 - 8 pm - Food vendors will be offering an assortment of tastes and treats at Austin Park.

• After dusk - Annual Fireworks Display -

  • Newly renovated Austin's Park. offers the best vantage point to view the fireworks and will offer the public a place to enjoy food from various vendors as well as view the fireworks.

  • This years event will have 2 elements. A "drive in" experience for those with vehicles and a "picnic in the park" experience for those walking in. Due to a lack of fundraising opportunities, we will be welcoming a $10 fee to park your vehicle.

    The "drive in" experience will allow for you and your family to park your vehicle and enjoy the fireworks display just as you would enjoy a drive in movie. Vehicles will be parked with adequate space between them to adhere to social distancing. The "picnic in the park" experience will allow those on foot to come and sit on the grass in designated areas, again adhering to social distancing guidelines.

  • While restrictions may loosen by the day of the event, at this time we are encouraging social distancing and the wearing of masks when away from your designated area or vehicle. Restrooms and hand washing stations will be available.

    The Lakeshore Lions ask that we all be respectful of each other, adhere to the public health officer's guidelines and have a great time! Remember, this is just a small step in turning the corner towards normalcy and we are proud to be able to offer this to OUR community. Thank you!
