Light Up the Lake Independence Day Celebration

On the Mandeville Lakefront, the fireworks will be beautiful mirrored in Lake Pontchartrain providing a sure "fire" way to ring in the Fourth of July. With patriotic tributes and live music, a kid's tent, games, face painting, and food trucks, the fireworks are not the only thing to look forward to at this event. On stage entertainment, located between Coffee and Carroll Streets, begins at 6 pm. Fireworks begin at 8:30 pm and will be launched from a raised barge for great viewing all along the lakefront. Picnics are not only welcome, but encouraged. Free. louisiananorthshore.com.
