45th Annual Lakeside Festival at The Dole is Here!

Thursday, July 3rd is opening day of this award-winning 4th of July Festival known to many simply as FEST. The Dole is THE place to be for live music, food and drinks, carnival rides, Cornhole Tournament, ice cream eating contest, Children’s Bicycle Parade, and more.

What’s New This Year?

Say goodbye to waiting in two lines for drinks. The “Drink Tickets Tent” has been eliminated. Gone are the days of trying to figure out how many tickets you need to purchase in advance. You will now be able to purchase and receive beer, wine, Lakeside Lemonade, or a Mai Tai in one location…the “One-Stop” Drink Tent!

But wait! There’s more! Also new this year… The Rush Creek Cocktail Tent. There are now more options offered at Fest. No drink tickets needed here either! We’re simplifying the process to enhance the guest experience.

17 bands over 4 days. Carnival rides. Food & drinks. Cornhole Tournament. Family fun!
