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

On July 22, kids ages 5-12 will spend time at the Oyster House learning about birds, making bird feeders and creating bird journals.
