Lakefest brings the first great shoreside event of fall to Lake Granbury 

By Hammer and Nail Marketing

 

Labor Day weekend has passed, the kids went back to school, and 92.1 Hank FM and K-HITS 95.5 decided the second weekend of fall is simply no time to quit living like it’s still summer. 

"Summer ending doesn't mean the end of fun on Lake Granbury,” said General Manager Tommy Jacoby of Lake Granbury Marina. “Friends and family are always invited to come enjoy the lake with us year-round.”

As a team that literally spends every day on the lake, the crew at Lake Granbury Marina knows this as well as anyone. As the clock hits noon on Saturday, September 28th, just a short drive (or boat ride) north of the marina at the Lake Granbury Conference Center, Lakefest brings a full day of free festivities to the Lake Granbury shoreline. 

 

Vendors, food trucks, and cornhole competition at the Lake Granbury Conference Center  

Visitors to Granbury Square and boaters on Lake Granbury will have a similar welcome experience Saturday afternoon: the smell of delicious festival food wafting through Granbury. 

 

Food trucks at Lakefest will include:

  • Josefina's Tamales

  • Messy Mama's Craft Lemonade

  • Southern Reflection Kettle Korn

  • Texas Cookie Company

  • Mission Burgers

  • Heartshine Farm Freeze Dried Goods

  • Crawldaddy’s Cajun Kitchen

  • Crave Hot Dogs and BBQ

 

Lakefest vendors include:

  • Triple Crown Ford (with a selection of brand-new vehicles)

  • Lonestar Rock Spa (Lakefest’s “Best Seat in the House” sponsor)

  • Boat sales by Blackbeard Marine

  • ATN Corp Shop

  • Rugged History Beard Co.

  • Mosquito Squad

  • Woodbridge Home Solutions

  • Renewal By Andersen

  • Champion Windows

  • Triple C Golf Cars

  • Sunshine Renewable Solutions

  • LeafFilter

  • Superior Tour & Travel

  • Longhorn Liners

 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a true party without a cornhole competition, which will pit the fiercest casual Granbury cornhole competitors against each other in good fun from 4 to 6 p.m.

92.1 Hank FM and K-HITS 95.5 bring live music and a drone show to Lake Granbury

 

The 2024 Lakefest is hosted by Granbury’s “real country” country station, 92.1 Hank FM, and North Central Texas’s classic hits station, K-HITS 95.5. Visit Granbury serves as a sponsoring partner. Proceeds from the event benefit Mission Granbury, one of Hood County’s most vital community service non-profits that provides the Ada Carey Family Violence Shelter, foster care advocacy, Hood County emergency and veteran’s assistance, and a weekly food pantry, among other services.

 

From 5 to 9 p.m., the evening entertainment looks like this: 

 

From 9:30 to 10, Ultimate Bariatrics presents a drone show by Flylight Drones, which will bring an illuminated 2024 Lakefest finale over the waters of Lake Granbury with 300 drones.  

Watch the Lakefest festivities right on Lake Granbury 

Festival attendees who want to make it a true “lake festival” can take the party off the beach and onto Lake Granbury for a cruise. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Lake Granbury Marina will have pontoon, tritoon, and Sea-Doo boat rentals available to book and cruise past the Conference Center crowds or explore Lake Granbury.

 

The ‘where’ and ‘how’ of Lakefest

The 2024 Lakefest is held at the Lake Granbury Conference Center at 621 East Pearl Street, Granbury. Local residents know Lakefest is just a three-minute drive or half-mile walk to the Historic Granbury Square, the center of Granbury’s shopping and dining experience. 

“92.1 Hank FM and 95.5 K-HITS are proud to bring this event to the Granbury Area and we invite everyone to come out for all the experience of a lifetime,” said Norma Savage of the Hank FM team.  

 

The 2024 Lakefest in Granbury is a free event, and attendees need only bring one thing: 

An appetite for live music, good food, and a day of free family fun on the shore of Lake Granbury.
