Beginning on Saturday, September 1, Cross Timbers Marina at Skiatook Lake is hosting three days of activities that will feature live music, boat tours, raft races, Backyard BBQ Cook-off, Vintage Car Show, Golf Competition, a Kids Zone, cardboard boat races and more.
"Clean, Clear and Close,” with over 160 miles of naturally beautiful shoreline, Skiatook Lake is located just 25 minutes from downtown Tulsa. According to Ron Howell, Cross Timbers Marina developer, “This area has not had a traditional Labor Day lake event for many years, and it was our feeling that Labor Day should have an event attached to the water. Skiatook Lake is a wonderful ‘play’ lake – we have the cleanest, clearest water in northeast Oklahoma. We anticipate our inaugural Labor Day event to be a wonderful, fun celebration that families will return to participate in year after year.”
Starting off the weekend on Saturday, September 1, lake-goers will enjoy music from local artists at the welcoming Lakeside Grill. The restaurant not only offers the best burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, cheesecake, and key lime pie, but also an array of tasty drink choices as well. Dine on all that great food while experiencing the incredible panoramic views of breathtaking Skiatook Lake.
Sunday night, come out and enjoy the spectacular fireworks display. Take in the brilliance of the colors reflecting off the lake’s sparkling waters. And then join everyone for the big Labor Day Celebration on Monday, September 3 at Tall Chief Cove with live deejays keeping the music going all day.
Participate in the Backyard BBQ Cook-off, (meat provided), Vintage Car Show (participants need to arrive no later than 10 a.m.), or Longest Drive Golf competition.
