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 several vessel parades on July 4.  There is no registration required for participants.  Just show up in your vessel before the appointed time and fall in line!

• Pontoon Boat parade begins at 10 a.m.  Meet in front of Higgins Ferry
• Jet Ski parade begins at noon from Lake Mitchell Marina in Walnut Creek
• Speed Boat/Wake Boat parade begins at 2 p.m. from  Blue Creek Marina

The HOBO-sponsored Fireworks take place at 9 p.m. in Cargile Creek on or near the Fourth of July.  The McCormick family has been delighting residents and visitors for decades with a spectacular fireworks display over the lake since 1988!  

​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.
