*** PLEASE SEE CHECK-IN PROCESS BELOW

With the many “American 250” celebrations planned, we are going to change things up a little this year.

We know many families will be planning road trips to see one of the numerous massive fireworks displays in town and out-of-town, so we are going to have our celebration on Friday, July 3.

So, get ready for the celebration of the century! We are pulling out all the stops to honor the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.

This isn’t just another holiday gathering – it’s a historic, action-packed milestone event that residents will be talking about for years to come. Grab your lawn chairs, round up your family and friends, and head down to the Pavilion for an unforgettable night of community pride, music, and memories.

Music By:

PLEASE NOTE: There is a new check-in process for this event.
You will need a “Woodlake Resident Pass” to attend the Woodlake Celebrates America 250 Party (See Below).

If you already have your “Woodlake Resident/Pool Pass” you are good-to-go!

New Event Check-In Procedure:

Check in with your Woodlake Resident Pass
In 2026, your Woodlake Resident Pass will allow you access to most Woodlake Events. In past years, residents would register for events like Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. Now, a member of your party will just need to show your “Woodlake Resident Pass” to enter. This will speed up the check-in process while providing assurance that only Woodlake residents and their guests are attending Woodlake events.

How do I get a Woodlake Resident Pass?
Getting your Resident Pass is easy, and they don’t expire. If you do not have a pass, please visit your portal and request one (HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS). If you have questions or need help, CLICK HERE.

Why Can’t I attend Without a Pass?
Having a Woodlake Resident Pass ensures only Woodlake residents and their invited guests attend our community events. Your Resident Pass quickly and easily, let’s the volunteer check-in team know you live in Woodlake and speeds up the check-in process.

I already have a Pool Pass, do I need another pass?
If you already have your “Pool Pass” you are good-to-go! Your Woodlake Resident Pass is the same “blue” pass you use to check into the outdoor pools. The same pass works for Outdoor Pools and Community Events requiring proof of residency.

Thank you in advance for requesting your pass and participating in this new procedure.

This event is open to Woodlake residents and their invited guests only.
