July 4th
No other weekend captures the spirit and community of Lake Rabun like July 4th! The show kicks off at the Pavilion on Friday, July 3rd with BBQ catered by the Dillard House and music by Rabun County’s own Foxfire Boys. Then, bright and early Saturday, plan on working off some of that BBQ by running or walking in the 3rd annual Rabun Ramble road race. July 4th is about lots of things, including fireworks! Come by boat or borrow a seat on a friends dock or boathouse, but whatever you do, don’t miss a

great fireworks show at the Earthen Dam beginning at dusk. We wrap up the weekend with a very special Wooden Boat Parade on Sunday, July 5th. This year marks the 30th anniversary of our July 4th parade. Once again this year, we’ll have our “Pass in Review” at the boat church boat house for the best viewing of the wooden boat parade on the lake. Doors will open at 10:00 AM, 30 minutes before the start of the boat parade. All welcome. Refreshments, commentary, patriotic music and it’s all free!
Labor Day
All too soon, summer comes to an end. But, not without one last opportunity to gather with your family and lake friends. Join us on Saturday, September 5th for a BBQ dinner followed by dancing to the music of The Mystery Band. Returning to us from last year, this group plays music for all ages and, if history repeats itself, we will have folks of all ages taking to the dance floor!
