LAKE COUNTY— This year's Independence Day falls on Thursday, with holiday events staged around the lake lasting throughout the weekend. As the holiday coincides with the summers first heat wave, both Cal Fire and Pacific Gas and Electric have issued warnings and guidelines for a safe a sane Fourth of July celebration.
On Monday the Cal Fire of Sonoma, Napa and Lake Counties issued a Red Flag Warning, warning our community of the potential fire danger this week as temperatures will rise over 110 degrees and coupled with high winds can make for a deadly fire recipe. They warn those using fireworks to proceed with caution and are "urging the public to avoid any activities that could ignite a wildfire." According to the press release it has already been a high fire year with over 20,000 burning acres put out.
Thursday July 4th will be the annual Lakeport Street Fair adjacent to Library Park in downtown Lakeport. The street fair is held from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will feature all sorts of vendors as well as the fireworks display beginning at approximately 9:30 p.m. The city of Clearlake and the Lakeshore Lions are hosting their annual carnival beginning on Thursday July 4 through Sunday July 7 from noon to 10 p.m. each day. On Saturday July 6 Clearlake will be hosting their 66 annual Redbud Parade and 54 annual international Worm Race. Fireworks will follow at dark. The Kickin' it in the Country Street Dance in Kelseyville featuring the Fargo Brothers has been cancelled due to extreme heat.
On Friday July 5 the Lakeport Concert Series presents The Bluebyrds from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Also on Friday Konocti Vista Casino will host their 30 annual Fireworks display. The Clearlake Oaks and Glenhaven Fireworks display will also be held on this night, offering multiple fireworks viewing opportunities.
