The Great American Weekend in Longville

2026 4th of July Weekend in Longville

There’s no better place to celebrate the 4th of July than in Longville — where lake life, hometown traditions, and summer memories come together for one unforgettable weekend.

Whether you’re spending the holiday at the cabin, visiting family, or making Longville your summer destination, there’s something happening all weekend long for all ages.

Kick off the celebration on Friday, July 3rd with a lakeside concert featuring Kat Perkins. Bring your lawn chairs, gather with friends and neighbors, and enjoy an evening of live music on the water as we welcome Independence Day weekend to Longville.

Saturday, July 4th brings all the classic Longville traditions you know and love — including the hometown parade down Main Street, food vendors, Water Wars, cornhole tournament, and fireworks over Girl Lake at dusk.

Then keep the fun going into Sunday with the annual sand volleyball tournament and more lakeside summer fun throughout the community.

Spend your days on the water, your nights under the stars, and your holiday weekend making memories in Longville. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
