FYI:
Kiwanis had a Pancake Breakfast on the 4th of July starting at 7AM. So, Parking will be an issue. Plus, Lodi Lake will be closed to the general public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 4, 2026, during the Fourth of July festival. This means even pancake breakfast attendees must leave before the afternoon crowd arrives.
Frances
