Fire on the Water

Oak Mountain State Park once again is hosting its annual Fire on the Water Fourth of July event. The park will be open for normal operating hours and fees, but beginning at 5 p.m., the normal entrance fees will switch to $15 per car. Annual passes will be honored for this event.  

There will be vendors in the park from noon until 9 p.m., and visiting families are invited to bring their own picnic lunches or grill out. Alcohol will be sold at the park from 5-8 p.m., and any alcohol present must be purchased from the park.

Aside from the fireworks show, which starts at 9 p.m., families are invited to come out early to hike and play in the water in the park. Flip Side will be exhibiting wakeboarding tricks on the main lake during the day.

Everyone’s favorite part is the “family-friendly park and atmosphere, where you have 10,000 acres to play in all day,” said Anna Jones Frew, the event coordinator for OMSP. Families love the DJ, getting to dance and eat with their families, and just having fun, she said.
