Thanks to the rainy winter and spring, Don Pedro Lake will resume its annual Fireworks on the Water display this year. The 30-minute show, launched from a platform near the dam, is sure to wow visitors. Prime viewing is on the water, but from land, the best viewing can be from Blue Oaks Recreation Area group pavilion and the parking areas near the visitor center. Come earlier in the day for fishing, swimming, picnicking and to reserve a great viewing spot.
The Fireworks on the Water display will start at 9:30 p.m. July 2. Admission is $20 per vehicle. Arrival before 8 p.m. is highly recommended. Don Pedro Lake is located at 31 Bonds Flat Rd., La Grange. For more information, visit
