In its 33rd year, the Culver Lake Fest is excited to celebrate the state’s Bicentennial with “Happy 200th Birthday, Indiana” as the theme of this year’s event. The three day event will be jam-packed with BIG fun.
The fun begins Friday at 4 pm with food, arts & crafts, and commercial booths followed by the annual Poker Run on the water which starts at 5 pm. Stay late into the evening so you can dance the night away on the beach at the Maxinkuckee Beach Ball where DJ Tim will be mixing up tunes from 7 – 10 pm.
Love things with motors? The beloved Car Show has morphed into a three-day weekend of classic car activities that includes two cruises as well as new categories for the car show competition. A Vintage Military category has been added this year in honor of the men and women in our community who fought to protect our nation. Also new this year on Saturday and Sunday is a Vintage Boat Museum. Members of the Antique & Classic Wood Boat Society, Antique Outboard Motors Club, and Indiana Outboard Racking Club will be on site to display and talk about the history of these boats.
Need to keep the kids busy while you shop the craft and commercial booths or sit and relax listening to live music? We have you covered. Start Saturday off with the parade at 10 am then head over to the kids’ games area for fun activities all day long. Stay until dark for the much talked about and loved fireworks display over Lake Maxinkuckee. Be sure to stake out your viewing spot early.
Lake Fest continues on Sunday, July 17 with Culver Lion’s Club Pancake and Sausage breakfast beginning at 7 am (also takes place Saturday morning). Look over the lake around 9 am to watch the Maxinkuckee Yacht Club Lake Fest Regatta. All food and booth vendors continue to stay open until 3 pm.
