McWain Pond Association
Time: 9:15 PM
Location: Over the lake at McWain Point
Fireworks will be provided for all to enjoy! Donations are warmly welcomed, with 100% of proceeds going to the Waterford Church’s Friends in Need Fund, which directly supports members of our local community.
Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, over $20,000 has been raised to date — including past efforts that helped send Veterans to Washington, DC to visit their memorials. An incredible cause made possible by this community.
Let’s continue the tradition and support the Friends in Need Fund together.

Join friends, neighbors, and visitors for one of McWain Pond’s favorite summer traditions — the Annual July 4th Boat Parade! Boats of all sizes and types are welcome, with any form of propulsion encouraged. Whether you arrive by pontoon, kayak, canoe, sailboat, or paddleboard, everyone is invited to participate in this festive celebration on the water.
Decorate your boat in patriotic colors, gather your crew, and enjoy an afternoon filled with community spirit, laughter, and lakefront fun. Spectators are encouraged to watch from shorelines, docks, and camps around the pond as the parade makes its way through McWain Point.
The Boat Parade is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Independence Day together and continue a cherished community tradition that brings the lake together year after year.
We look forward to seeing everyone out on the water!
Cheer on your favorite rubber duck as hundreds race for the finish line in this beloved Fourth of July tradition. Proceeds benefit the Waterford-Harrison Parent Teacher Organization and help support local students and schools.
