The annual fire department fundraiser features live music, a bean bag tournament, prize drawings, a bounce house and family fun zone and more. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
This year’s headliner, performing from 9 p.m. to midnight, is the band Arch Allies.
The recommended donation for admission is $10. Children 12 and under are free with paid adult admission.

People who want to kick things off earlier can come to a pre-party Thursday (today) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Dan and Connie Moyer will perform. There’s no cover charge.
Fourth of July
Weather permitting, the fireworks display over Lake Pepin will begin at about 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 4, according to the Lions Club. In the event inclement weather would cause a postponement, the show will be held at a later date.

The Woman’s Club of Lake City is sponsoring a performance of the Turkey River All Stars Sunday, July 5, from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Patton Park.
“Bring lawn chair or blankets and enjoy the music,” the club said in an advertisement for the event.
