The sky over Indian Lake will light up Saturday night as the Indian Lake Area Chamber of Commerce presents its annual Fourth of July fireworks display — and this year’s show promises to be the biggest yet.
The celebration is set to begin at 10 p.m., with over 27 minutes of nonstop fireworks planned to wow spectators across the area.
“This is the best year yet,” said Amber Fagan, Executive Director of the Chamber. “We’re excited to bring the community together for a show that’s bigger and better than ever before.”
The fireworks will be launched from the south bank of Indian Lake, and viewers are encouraged to arrive early to find a good spot.
The show has become a cherished tradition for both locals and visitors, drawing thousands to the lakeside for Independence Day festivities.
