Fireworks and Fourth of July Fun
The Fourth of July celebration is always a favorite around Lake Norman. This year, don’t miss the big shows on July 4. Visit Queen’s Landing in Mooresville for a lakeside fireworks event starting at dusk. You can also watch the sky light up from a boat or nearby parks. Additionally, Davidson and Cornelius offer parades, music, and patriotic fun during the day. Arrive early to grab a good spot and enjoy local vendors.
Outdoor Concerts and Music by the Water
Live music is everywhere during July in Lake Norman. The Town of Cornelius hosts the Outdoor Music Series at Bailey Road Park. On July 13, catch the Uptown Funk Band performing hits everyone can dance to. Bring lawn chairs, grab food from on-site trucks, and enjoy the show. Meanwhile, Birkdale Village continues its Live Under the Oaks concerts every Friday night. The vibe is laid-back, and admission is free.
Farmers Markets and Local Finds
Fresh produce, baked treats, and handmade items are just a short drive away. July is peak season at the Davidson Farmers Market. Open every Saturday morning, this market features over 35 local vendors. You’ll find peaches, corn, tomatoes, and much more. Also, keep an eye out for special cooking demos and live music. It’s a great way to support small businesses and enjoy the community.

Of course, July in Lake Norman wouldn’t be complete without time on the water. Rent a paddleboard, take a sunset cruise, or book a kayak tour. Lake Norman State Park offers shaded trails and a beach area perfect for picnics and swimming. Additionally, Jetton Park has beautiful views and walking paths to enjoy after a dip in the lake.
