The multiple day festival is located on the beautiful shores of Lake Minnewaska. The weekend has a lot of excitement with 100-unit parade, kiddie parade, lighted pontoon parade, water shows, pageants, dances, sporting events, and running races. When you need a break from the activities, there is plenty of food to take care of your appetite. Other activities include Crazy Day sales, Art and Craft Show, Car Show, state of the art fireworks, and a community worship service.
