Another Fantastic Evening At The Athens Boat Club July 4th 2018 Fireworks Display On Lake Lanier!

It Was Another Fantastic Evening At The Athens Boat Club July 4th 2018 Fireworks Display On Lake Lanier!

What a beautiful and enjoyable event last night on Thompson Creek as boaters and lake dwellers on Lake Lanier gathered for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display at Athens Boat Club. The weather was warm and a bit humid, but the water temp was just right for floating and relaxing! This display just keeps getting better each year. We arrived at about 9 p.m. and the show started at about 9:30 p.m. The fireworks lit up the sky until about 10 p.m. As usual, the flotilla hangs out after the show and the final departure was easy and civilized!

Many thanks to Athens Boat Club in Dawsonville for putting on such a wonderful event! It really is a fabulous way to enjoy the Fourth!
