Highlights
Outing Highlights
Sunset Sets from a Boat Deck
Bands perform from a pontoon anchored in a quiet cove, the music carried across the water while listeners drift on kayaks, paddleboards, and boats — an intimate, lake‑front concert experience that blends warm melodies with the rhythm of lapping waves.
Wristband Entry and Discounted Rentals
Entry requires a $15 wristband; wristband holders can rent kayaks or paddleboards at a special concert price or bring their own gear and must check in at the DIG Paddlesports office to pick up wristbands before heading out.
Shoreside Pizza and Festival Fare
Local vendors like Smokin' Sasquatch Pizza set up at the Dig shop entrance so you can fuel up before paddling out; gluten‑free options are available and preorders are accepted.
What the day feels like
What It Feels Like to Be There
The evening moves in stages: arrive early to check in and collect wristbands at the Dig office, pick up rented gear or launch your own craft in the late afternoon, drift toward Concert Cove for a 7–9pm set, then return to shore and return rentals by the 9pm cutoff — a concise, music‑first outing that centers around the lake and the band aboard the pontoon.

Details to review before reserving
Concerts run roughly two hours in the evening; plan to arrive early to check in and pick up gear so you can be on the water for the 7–9pm performance.
Bring your own kayak or paddleboard if you prefer, or rent from DIG Paddlesports at the discounted concert rate; personal flotation devices are required by law for paddlers.
Check in at the DIG Paddlesports office/garage to pick up wristbands even if you are not renting gear; food vendors such as Smokin' Sasquatch Pizza operate at the Dig shop area and accept preorders.
