Fireworks will start around 9:20 on Saturday, July 7 depending on the weather and how quickly it gets dark. A warning shot will be fired 15 minutes before the start. When the fireworks end, all boats should move counter-clockwise around the lake to head home.

EVERY boat must have lights and stay back 500 feet from the dam. Please follow Dunlap Lake boating safety rules and Illinois boating laws. Navigational lighting is required on all boats including kayaks. Rain date is July 8. If you have or need a space to watch fireworks you can post on the Dunlap Lake Association Facebook page or e-mail to carolyn@dunlaplake.org or call Carolyn at 791-1398 for viewing sites.
