What's Happening on Blue Lake!

The Blue Lake Association would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible 2026 Fireworks Sponsors. Because of the generosity of these businesses, families, and community partners, we are able to continue providing a fireworks show that brings friends, neighbors, and visitors together to celebrate summer at Blue Lake.

These sponsors aren't just supporting a fireworks display—they are investing in our community, helping create lasting memories, and ensuring that this tradition continues for future generations.

Please take a moment to support the businesses that support Blue Lake. We are grateful for each and every sponsor who has helped make this year's show possible.

Thank you for helping us light up the skies over Blue Lake!

Thanks to the Whitley County Blessings in a Backpack program, we are a host site for free summer meals. Students or parents can stop by to pick up meals on Mondays from 4-5 PM each week at our community Building.

Celebrate Independence Day with our Fireworks Celebration on Sunday, July 5! Fireworks are shot from a barge in the middle of the lake at dusk.

Watch our page and website for more information on the events of the day!

Grab your blankets, lawn chairs, family, and friends and join us for a fun-filled evening at Blue Lake! We're excited to host a Family Movie Night featuring the classic comedy The Great Outdoors on the big screen.

Before the movie begins, kids can enjoy the bounce house, and everyone can grab snacks and drinks while spending time with neighbors and friends. It's the perfect opportunity to relax, laugh, and make summer memories together.

Join Megan Gokey of the Indiana Clean Lakes Program (INCL) for a two-hour in-person workshop on water quality monitoring at the Blue Lake Community Center. Learn about why you should monitor water quality - and what it can and can't tell you.  See a variety of equipment options from the very basic (thermometer, Secchi disk, etc.) to the more complex options like multiparameter sondes.  We will discuss what parameters/tests the INCL program offers and how to interpret those results.

This event will focus on the Volunteer Lake Monitoring portion of the program.  Participants will first gather indoors for a presentation.  Weather permitting, we will then move outdoors for a hands on demonstration on Blue Lake.
