Independence Day Golf Cart Parade & Celebration

The parade will begin at the Marina, with participants lining up along Captains Walk. Cheer on the patriotic display as the parade moves through the property, culminating in front of the Clubhouse and ending at Lake Dye Grill.
Following the parade, continue the festivities at Lake Dye Grill. Dive into the pool party fun, enjoy a live DJ and indulge in American BBQ classics like burgers, potato salad, smoked brisket, mac & cheese and cornbread with jalapeño and honey butter.
Kids in Kayaks & Birding Exploration
Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 22
Our carefully crafted kid events ensure a balance of fun and educational activities, allowing children to discover fascinating facts about the local flora and fauna, learn new skills and ignite their passion for the great outdoors. On July 7, led by our on-site Naturalist Shannon, the group kayak tour for kids ages 10+, will focus on adventure and safety on Lake Clara. From the moment your little explorers step foot into the kayak, they’ll embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery and nature. On July 22, kids ages 5-12 will spend time at the Oyster House learning about birds, making bird feeders and creating bird journals.
