About Liberty on the Lake
This Fourth of July marks America’s 250th anniversary, and Lake Geneva is going all out with a brand-new event: Liberty on the Lake.
Set right along the shores of Geneva Lake at Flat Iron Park, this all-day celebration brings together live entertainment, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and all the patriotic fun you can imagine!
It’s the main event for your Fourth of July weekend—and just another reason (of the many) to visit Lake Geneva this summer!
Schedule of Festivities
It all begins at 5:00 pm with something for everyone! You name it: face painting, balloon artists, top-notch performers, and a fantastic lineup of food trucks offering all the summertime staples.
At 6:00 pm, settle in for a live outdoor concert, featuring EZFM, sponsored by Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. And as the sun starts to set, the celebration gets even more magical!
Just before 9:00 pm, lay out your blankets and set up your lawn chairs, and prepare to be amazed! An awe-inspiring drone light show will light up the sky above Geneva Lake, honoring 250 years of American history in a way you’ve never experienced before.
