The Fourth of July holiday at Lake Mitchell is always a cause for celebration, and everyone, young and old, participates in the fun with costumes, parades and several fireworks shows. There are three vessel parades on July 4 - the pontoon boat parade, the ski boat parade, and the personal water craft parade. No registration required. Just show up in your vessel and fall in line!
The HOBO-sponsored Fireworks take place in Cargile Creek on or near July 4. The McCormick family has been delighting residents and visitors for decades with a spectacular fireworks display over the lake for 35 years!
The event has become one of the high points of the year on Lake Mitchell.
Boaters begin gathering in Cargile Creek after dark in anticipation of the show which begins at 9 p.m. By the time the first music begins to play and the first colorful explosions light the sky, Cargile Creek has turned into a floating city.
For the next 20 minutes music rings out as synchronized fireworks dazzle the sky above.
