Fireworks Display 2020

University Yacht Club's fireworks display is set for July 3, 2020.  This annual tradition has become a beloved event on the lake eagerly anticipated by the community and boaters that are aware of it.  A huge flotilla of boats begins to gather in the north cove early in the evening of every July 3rd adjacent to where the fireworks are shot off.  Member of UYC and their guests watch from members boats at the docks and on the lawn in front of the launch area.  This year, due to the Covid-19 virus, the club is limiting access to the lawn to only members and their immediate family.  However, members are welcome to host guests on their boats.
