14th Annual Thunder Over Patoka – Fireworks Show

On Saturday, July 1, thousands of people will head to Patoka Lake to watch the huge fire rockets shoot into the sky over the clear water for Thunder Over Patoka. Whether on the Patoka Beach, on a boat, or at one of the close-by ramps, the show will be a sight to see filled with the “oohs” and “ahhs” of any great fireworks show.

Fireworks will start at dark.  Bring your family and friends, lawn chairs, blankets, refreshments, and bug spray.

Tune your radios to WITZ-FM 104.7 radio for themed music during the event. They are also streaming at www.witzamfm.com or from an iPhone or Android smart phone app.

Come out and enjoy this spectacular show over the waters of Patoka!
