Before we know it, summer will be here and the weather will be much hotter than we like. One of the best ways to stay cool in the summer is a dip in one of Oklahoma’s beautiful lakes. Tucked away on the shores of Grand Lake in northeastern Oklahoma is a little resort with a multitude of cabin rentals perfect for a weekend getaway.

Aquapalooza draws in people from all over the United States and Canada and has become a favorite event on Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees each summer. You simply must see this amazing on-the-water concert!

The event is put on each year by 360 Grand Lake and is held during the afternoon of the third Saturday in July. This four-hour-long live music event has grown to attract 8,000 to 10,000 people each year! The summertime celebration has become so popular that it had to move from a smaller area of Duck Creek to a more roomy spot on Horse Creek! The event is now held off the shores of SouthWinds Marina in Bernice.
