Taste of Lake Murray

🎆 Fireworks don’t just happen… patriots make them happen! 🇺🇸
Join us for the Taste of Lake Murray, proudly presented by Lexington Health. This festive culinary event returns on 26 mars 2026, kl. 18:00 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Columbia. This signature celebration serves as the primary fundraiser for Lake Murray’s annual Independence Day Fireworks, lighting up the sky from two lake locations each year.

Since 1989, Capital City/Lake Murray Country has created this cherished July 4th tradition. The 2026 event is especially significant, coinciding with the 250th Anniversary of the Revolutionary War, making this year’s gathering truly revolutionary! 🍽️
