The Chesterton/Duneland Chamber of Commerce will host the 4th Annual Fireworks on the Lakefront on Tuesday, July 3, 2012. The event will take place at the Indiana Dunes State Park & the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Join the Chamber and the Town of Porter for live entertainment, food vendors and a spectacular fireworks show during this family-friendly community celebration.
“Last year, over 7,500 guests attended this event,” said Heather Ennis, the Chamber’s Executive Director. “We hope to welcome even more residents of Duneland this year.” Food vendors and live music will begin at 6:00pm, and the fireworks show will begin at 9:15pm. The Chris and Lou Band will play both before and after the fireworks, and so visitors are encouraged to stay and relax on the beach after the fireworks show.
Free bus transportation will be provided from Chesterton Middle School and Yost Elementary School to Porter Beach from 5:00pm to 7:30pm. Entrance to the Indiana Dunes State Park is $5 per car, or $10 per car with an out-of-state license plate. Please be aware that there will be a high amount of traffic at the State Park and Porter Beach.
The 2012 Fireworks on the Lakefront event would not be possible without many community supporters, including the Porter County Commissioner, the Towns of Porter, Chesterton, and Burns Harbor, Duneland School Corporation, Indiana Dunes Tourism, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
