WINONA LAKE – The annual Northern Indiana Lakes Festival is May 26-28, Memorial Day Weekend, at Center Lake Park in Warsaw.
The Lakes Festival is an annual celebration of local lakes and waterways, according to a news release from Center for Lakes and Streams at Grace College. Festival admission is free and activities include a Friday evening concert, food, live animal show, display tanks, kids’ activities, exhibitors, Saturday fireworks over Center Lake and more.
Scheduling the Lakes Festival for Memorial Day Weekend is an effort to kick off the summer in a fun way with local lakes in mind, the release states.
