Life in a Tree will perform at 4 p.m. on a spectacular stage provided by KNE (K-Nation Entertainment), resulting in truly first-rate experience.

The Lake Moon Festival is a free event for the public including a 5K race, food, bluff tours, a Plein Air art competition, family activities, fireworks, and much more. The event will take place from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m
