Boat Parade and Tie-Up
2026 Boat Parade & Don Hermes Boat Tie-Up
 
Join us for an afternoon of fun on the lake, beginning with a boat parade at Michael's On The Lake at 1:00 pm on Saturday, July 5th. Decorating your boat is optional, but encouraged! Line up will begin at 12:45 pm near the Michael's pier, prior to a single counterclockwise lap of the lake.  All types of watercraft are welcome.
 
 
The parade will be followed by the Don Hermes Boat Tie-Up, scheduled to begin around 2:00 pm. The location will depend upon lake and weather conditions but look for the HERMES flag and join us as we build a floating island of friends and neighbors. Bring boat bumpers and stay awhile, or anchor nearby and be part of a community gathering on Eagle Lake.
 
 
Bring your own beverages (remember, no glass). For tie-up participants, the appetizer-to-pass is optional. No sign up or registration is necessary for either portion of this FREE event. If the weather does not cooperate on July 4th, the event will be held the next day, Sunday, July 5th.
