Hamlin Lake Fireworks

More than 4000 spectators gather to view this annual event that has been held since the 1970’s. There will be an ice cream social at Wilson Hill Park before the fireworks.

Best viewing is by boat in the Upper Lake from Indian Pete Bayou west to Victory Park or on the South shore of the Upper Lake. For safety reasons spectators are not permitted on the grounds of Camp Douglas Smith and viewing from the North shore is limited to private properties.

Donations are requested. Contributions may be sent to HLPS (Hamlin Lake Preservation Society) , PO Box 178,  Ludington, MI 49431. The HLPS has been part of the lake’s fireworks display since 1985 and the sole sponsor since 1994. The annual cost exceeds $6,000 in addition to the volunteer efforts related to permits, setup, publicity, insurance, cleanup, etc. Some longtime contributors continue to make substantial gifts and several resorts help defray the costs, however the total number of donations is given by only a small percentage of the viewers. Your help will be appreciated. For more information regarding the fireworks, you may contact Kent Gage at (231) 843-3169, [email protected]
