The Northshore is well known for its relaxed pace of living and the many opportunities it offers for outdoor fun, as well as its burgeoning food and drink scene. But here, the days leading up to the Fourth of July make the most of the Northshore … plus fireworks!

• July 4, Mandeville: Light Up the Lake: Usually a day-long festival, this year will be ramping up the fireworks in light of caution regarding COVID-19. Fireworks will begin at 8:30 p.m. and spectators may watch from their cars parked in bays along Lakeshore Drive or on the lakefront, respecting social distancing. Tune into The Lake 94.7-FM to hear synchronized music as you watch. cityofmandeville.com. 

• July 4, Abita Springs: Independence Day Celebration: Bring chairs, blankets, family, and friends to Abita Springs' Trailhead & Park, and be sure to grab your spot around 8:30 pm, since fireworks start at 9 pm. The 2019 event featured a celebration presented by VFW Post 8720 starting at 5 pm, with a decorated bike and wagon parade rolling through the town, along with live music, a flag retiring ceremony, local civic organizations with fun activities and games, Abita Beer, concessions and snoballs.
