Miner Lake Fireworks – July 5th, 2024

NOTE: The location has been changed! Fireworks will now be launched from the West side of the lake near the boat launch.

This year we plan to celebrate the Independence Day holiday on July 5th with fireworks after dark (around 10 pm) and the revival of the Boat parade starting at 11 am (see separate post).

Reminder: All watercraft must follow State of MI rules for nighttime navigation (pg 10). Last year there were reports of small boats and/or kayaks out on the lake without navigation or marker lights. Please don’t do this… and for those of us who know better, be aware of the increased possibility of unmarked vessels.

While the Miner Lake Property Owners Assn. does not sponsor fireworks, we do have several residents who choose to celebrate the holiday with a bit of a show!

One of the larger displays will be on the East side of the lake in the area North of the dam West Side of the Lake near the boat launch and will be launched from rafts. We ask that residents remain clear of that area when the rafts are present and do not disturb the rafts or contents. This display is scheduled for July 5, 2023 around 10 to 10:30 pm and will include and soundtrack broadcast that can be heard on your boat radio [we will post the frequency in the days before the event].

Thanks to Keith and others for generously sharing this significant gift with our community – the equipment and fireworks cost many thousand dollars! You can show your appreciation by donating via Venmo to @Keith-Norman-29
