The Festival of the Lake

Three days of community celebration and fundraising return to Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church this fall, featuring a slate of fun family games and magic shows—not to mention a fantastic slate of live local performances by the likes of Bag of Donuts, Christian Serpas, Four Unplugged, Brother Chris, and Karen Waldrup. Local vendors will be ready to dole out delicacies like chargrilled oysters, smoked brisket, and the obligatory cotton candy, and artisans will be peddling unique wares across the grounds. 5 pm–10 pm Friday; 11 am–10 pm Saturday; 12 pm–6 pm Sunday. Free. festivalofthelake.com.
