Annual Russell Marine Fourth of July Boat Parade
Russell Marine will host the 19th Annual Fourth of July Boat Parade on Saturday, July 4 beginning at 10:00 am at Kowaliga Marina on Lake Martin. This patriotic event is a tradition on Lake Martin that grows every year in participants and spectators.

Boats of all sizes will line up single file and "parade" from Kowaliga Marina to Children's Harbor circling just past the lighthouse, and heading back to the marina. Onlookers line the shoreline and the water to marvel and applaud the colorfully decorated patriotic boats and contestants.  Registered participants in the parade will be vying for top honors for the Largest Flag, Tallest Flag, Most Patriotic, and Most Creative.  The first place winner in each category will receive a $150 Gift Certificate to Russell Marine and second place will receive a $75 Gift Certificate.

Those interested in participating in the Russell Marine Fourth of July Boat Parade should register by July 3 at any Russell Marine location. There are four convenient locations on Lake Martin: Kowaliga, The Ridge, Real Island and River North. Registration is free. You may also request a registration form by calling 866-355-8050.

Russell Lands is proud to present its 9th Annual Russell Lands Fourth of July fireworks show on Saturday, July 4.  Renowned as one of the largest shows in the southeast, the skies will light up at 9:00 p.m. at the Lake Martin Amphitheater. Live entertainment will begin at 6:30 p.m.  Those not wishing to attend the concert may watch the fireworks from boats or in the open fields off Highway 63.

Kicking off the celebration at 6:30 p.m. will be the wonderful acoustic sound of Muse followed by this area’s favorite group, The Sweet Young'uns, who will play both before and after the fireworks show. The very talented Karen Carter will sing a special medley of patriotic songs just prior to the 9:00 fireworks.

Tickets for the concert and celebration will be available through Ticketmaster or at the gate for $15. Children 6 and under will be admitted free. Gates will open at 4:30 p.m.  For Amphitheater details and directions, visit www.lmat.org.
