LAKE CLOSURES AND BOAT TRAFFIC
Boat traffic near the fireworks barge will be prohibited from 5 p.m. to midnight, but watercraft will be allowed on the lake during this time, according to a city of Marble Falls media release about the event. Boaters needing access to the east side of the lake (Johnson Park boat ramp and beyond) should make their way east of Backbone Creek before 5 p.m. Those needing to exit via Lakeshore Drive Boat Ramp or reach properties west of that point must be west of the closure area by 5 p.m.

The city’s fire, police, parks, EMS, and public works staff will be coordinating lake safety and traffic control during the event. (See city map above for where to park.) After the fireworks show, some roads will be closed so people can safely exit the park. Follow signs and directions from city personnel when leaving.
Due to ongoing hotel and conference center construction, the road between Buena Vista and Yett Street is closed. All vehicle access must enter the Lakeside Park area from Main Street to Buena Vista.
