LakeFest Big Bear 2025 – Where Summer Comes Alive
From Friday, August 22 to Sunday, August 24, LakeFest Big Bear 2025 takes over the shoreline from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The weekend is packed with paddle relays, swimming competitions, beer gardens, and live music.
Families, friends, and visitors of all ages gather to enjoy the lake at its peak summer beauty.
You can spend your morning cheering on competitive swimmers, then wander over to the paddle races. Between events, grab food from local vendors or relax in the beer garden while the band plays in the background. Kids can enjoy activities on the sand, and the whole crowd comes together to watch the sunset glow across the water.
