Make Waves at the 4th Annual Boat Parade
Kick off the festivities on Thursday, July 4th from 3pm to 4pm with the 4th Annual Boat Parade at Lake End Park in Morgan City. Locals and visitors alike decorate their boats in red, white, and blue for a patriotic cruise along the water. Prizes are awarded for the most festive entries, and judging begins at 4pm in front of the new pavilion. It’s a can’t-miss celebration of community and creativity, all with a bayou backdrop.

Stay for the Bash
Right after the boat parade, the celebration continues with the 4th of July Lake Bash at Lake End Park from 3pm to 9pm. Hosted by Morgan City Main Street, this family-friendly event includes live music, local food trucks, and a laid-back atmosphere that captures the heart of summer. Bring your lawn chairs, enjoy a bite to eat, and dance the evening away as the sun sets over the water.

Fireworks on the Water
As night falls, get ready for a spectacular fireworks show that lights up the bayou sky at Lake End Park. With reflections dancing across the lake and music in the air, it’s the perfect way to wrap up your Independence Day on the Cajun Coast.
