The annual Palmer Lake Flotilla is this week. Saturday July 4th, 2026 starting at 4:00. It’s not too late to sign up for a boat or a shoreline entry, all are welcome. No boat or shoreline decoration is too big or too small. There are currently 6 boat entries and 7 shoreline entries. A map of the shoreline entries will be posted before the event for those that want to check them out before the parade starts. This years theme is Happy Birthday America. Celebrating birthdays and especially Americas 250th birthday. There are prize baskets, trophies, and bragging rights for the best shoreline and boat entries. Please remember our sponsors, Gilbert’s Shell, Five Star Pizza, Gramma Netties Cheese Cakes, The Parlor, and Headquarters Salon. A special thanks to Pam Gilbert for the prize baskets. Pam has been a supporter of this event for many years and creates the prize baskets for the winners. This year’s winners will enjoy boat bags, yard games, snacks and other items to make summer time more fun.
