Description

Glittering fireworks, mirrored upon the surface of a deep mountain lake and combined with a healthy dose of civic pride, conspire to make Fireworks on Lake Glenville a cherished tradition.

On Sunday, July 1, you’ll be able to do just that at the annual Fireworks on Lake Glenville.  The majestic mountains that hold Lake Glenville in its valleys frame the skies above and act as an amplifier for the reverberating booms; the water reflects the colorful display in a way that no park can equal, creating an even grander stage for a magnificent show.

Started by Stuart Hall nearly 10 years ago, this annual tradition is carried on today at the The Point at Lake Glenville.  During his past presidency of The Point, Juan Milciunas was approached by Stuart when Stuart and his crew realized that firing explosives off of a barge in the middle of the lake probably wasn’t the safest idea. 

Today, the show is produced by Hale Artificier Fireworks, a professional pyrotechnic company.  Hundreds of boats will vie for a spot on the lake to watch the show.  Lakeside watchers are limited to private docks and the few pull offs around the Lake on Highway 107.Currently, the show is sponsored by The Friends of Lake Glenville, Trillium, Hattler Realty, Signal Ridge Marina, andprivate contributors.

“The show is entirely funded by donations and sponsors.  We would love to have more contributors,” Juan says, “The more contributors we have, the longer the show can be.  I would love for the show to be 30 minutes or more.”If you’d like to contribute to funding the show, contact the FLG at flg@friendsoflakeglenville.comThe show starts around 9:30 P.M., just when it gets dark enough for the first flare to shine in the night sky, and lasts about 15 minutes.
