July 4th: Fireworks Show on Bull Shoals Lake & VFW All American Independence Day

 July 4th - Independence Day Fireworks Show on Bull Shoals Lake

Fireworks at dark!!

Bring your water, lawn chairs and picnic blankets! (Probably bug spray too!) Best places to see the show are at the Gaston's Visitor Center Overlook at the Bull Shoals Dam, on the Lakeview side of the Dam at the park, and at the bottom of the Dam. If you have a boat, then anchor out on the lake or park on the White River to get a nice view. The show will begin after dark.

Keep in mind that we expect an increased number of spectators this year and there will be a lot of traffic.  Be patient, courteous and understanding.  You may have to walk a good ways to get a good place to sit as well.  It will be well worth it!  We all look forward to seeing the community gather!


Be sure to visit the restaurants and merchants in the area when visiting!
