The South’s largest in-water boat show and festival is back for 2012, and this year promises to be the definitive event to kick off summer in Alabama.

The Logan Martin Lakefest and Boat Show will take place May 11 from noon until 10 PM, and May 12 from 10 am until 7 PM. This event is free to all who attend. We hope to see you here!

We’ve Got Boats:

We’ve got Lake Homes:

New this year, Rusert Custom Homes presents the “Escape to the Lake Home Tour”. As a part of this extra special showcase, Rusert will have no less than a half dozen homes prepared exclusively for your perusal.

We’ve got Food:

This year, the Bayou Steamer Restaurant in Pell City is hosting the 2012 Mud Bug Jamboree – right in the middle of LakeFest! Come out and enjoy an authentic Cajun Crawfish Boil, and take a load off in their beer garden. In addition, several food vendors from the area will be showcasing their wares.

We’ve got the Party:

Birmingham rock group 90 Proof will kick off the summer right on Friday night, rocking your favorites from the 90s, culminating in the FIRE UP SUMMER Fireworks Spectacular presented by Woods Surfside Marina and Starcraft Marine. Come early and grab a good seat. Lawn chairs and blankets are permitted, coolers are not.

and We’ve got FUN!

A larger, expanded kids area will keep the little ones entertained. This year, look for a petting zoo, bouncy castles, games, and more!
