Lakefront fireworks event on June 29; donations still needed

Back To Front Page

 

The Duneland Chamber of Commerce has once again taken a leap of faith, by sponsoring the ninth annual Fireworks on the Lakefront extravaganza on Thursday, June 29.

Leap of faith, in fact, because as the Chamber reported on Wednesday, it’s still “under the gun for permitting” and is still working to gather needed donations.

Both the Chesterton and the Porter town councils have declined this year to make a requested $2,500 contribution to the event.

“This event has become a tradition for Duneland families,” Chamber President Maura Durham said. “I am excited to announce to the community that they will once again be able to enjoy this patriotic evening with their families at our lakefront. Holidays are important, and this event brings people together.”

The event will take place at the Indiana Dunes State Park. Join the Chamber for food vendors and a spectacular fireworks show, to begin at dusk at approximately 9:20 p.m. “The Fireworks on the Lakefront event will not be possible without the monetary and in-kind donations of new and past supporters,” the Chamber did say, however. “The Duneland Chamber’s office will continue to take donations in order to keep this great event going this year.”

Entrance to the Indiana Dunes State Park is $7 per car, or $12 per car with an out-of-state license plate. Please be aware that there will be a high volume of traffic at Dunes State Park and Porter Beach.

Shuttle bus transportation will not be available this year to Porter Beach.

Guests are also asked not to bring any fireworks to this professional fireworks show, in order to avoid fire hazards.

And alcohol is not permitted at Indiana Dunes State Park.
