Boom! Bang! Sizzle!

The Fourth of July weekend is one of the best times of year to watch fireworks at the Lake of the Ozarks.

But we’ll let you in on a little secret: In some ways, Labor Day weekend (Aug. 30 – Sept. 1) firework-watching is even better.

Temperatures start to cool just a tad. The crowds aren’t quite so intense.

Labor Day weekend is the perfect opportunity to get away for a quick romantic weekend, girls weekend, or one last family vacation before the school year gets in full-swing.

Here are two fabulous ways to watch fireworks over Labor Day weekend:

• Gazing into the night sky, fireworks will light up the sky over Sunrise Beach at Bear Bottom Resort. Click here for more details.
• Hop on a boat and watch the fireworks, floating peacefully on the Lake of the Ozarks. Be sure to check out Tropic Island Cruises or Celebration Cruises.
