AquaPalooza Grand Lake will Rock the Lake Saturday, July 16

Two pre-parties, featuring Dead Parrot rum and

Schultz vodka, will amp up the fun of Grand Lake’s

largest on-the-water concert and raft up.

 

Three things you’ll always find in Oklahoma during July: sunny skies, boats on the water and one legendary party — AquaPalooza Grand Lake.

Held every year on the third Saturday in July, AquaPalooza Grand Lake makes the most of those sunny skies with an afternoon of live music and fun that draws 15,000 boaters and water lovers from all over the country.

Presented by 360GrandLake.com, this popular Grand Lake tradition is an experience you don’t want to miss. So mark your calendars now and plan to be a part of this year’s event as Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees’ largest on-the-water concert and raft up rocks the lake and celebrates Oklahoma on Saturday, July 16.

The floating four-hour concert will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. just off The Point at Grand Lake RV Resort, which is hosting the 12th annual event. Everyone is invited to boat, paddle or swim their way to Duck Creek to be a part of this epic summer party that is free and open to the public.

“AquaPalooza is a good time. It’s about having fun and enjoying Grand Lake,” said Michelle Robertson, owner and president of 360GrandLake.com. “The event has continued to grow each year. People come from all over the country to be a part of this national event that has become a popular Grand Lake tradition.”

Prior to last year’s event, organizers realized AquaPalooza Grand Lake was so much fun it shouldn’t be contained to just one day so they expanded the event to two days in order to include two pre-parties.

This year, there’s even more fun on offer.

In addition to the main concert and raft up, the 2022 AquaPalooza Grand Lake will host two pre-parties on Friday, July 15, as well as a multi-day AquaPalooza Grand Tasting Tour, featuring Dead Parrot rum and Schultz vodka from headline sponsor, Rock Creek Distillery.

An Oklahoma-based distillery that is focused on “simply spirits and making great products that people really like”, Rock Creek Distillery is the perfect choice to be the headline sponsor of this year’s AquaPalooza Grand Lake celebrating Oklahoma.

To introduce Rock Creek Distillery and give everyone a taste (literally) of its handcrafted Oklahoma-made spirits, 360GrandLake.com is announcing the AquaPalooza Grand Tasting Tour.

Leading up to the on-the-water concert, Rock Creek Distillery will be visiting local bars, restaurants and liquor stores around Grand Lake to showcase their homegrown and handcrafted Schultz vodka and extra smooth Dead Parrot rum.
