Forest Lakeís Independence Day weekend celebration will take on a new twist this year. The Forest Laker is planning its first Patriotic Pontoon Parade on Saturday, July 1.

A 90 minute cruise around the chain of lakes is planned. All boat captains will receive a T-shirt and there are prizes for crew members. Awards for the most patriotic boat will follow on the Forest Laker patio at 6 p.m. Participants are welcome to stay for live music and a BBQ rib dinner. Music for the day includes the Party Guy from 3-7 p.m. and Jake ìShakeyî Newman from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The parade will cap a month-long grand opening for the new and expanded Forest Laker in downtown Forest Lake.
