Memorial Day Weekend Festivities at LanierWorld
Special events stretch across the entire holiday weekend at LanierWorld, Lake Lanier Islands’ water park, beach and entertainment complex. Among the highlights is a special fireworks show exploding at dusk on May 27. The Thank God It’s Summer party takes place on Memorial Day itself featuring a live performance by High Fidelity from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Atlanta-based cover band specializes in danceable rock from the ’80s to the chart toppers of today. Admission to LanierWorld includes access to the holiday revelry and the park’s attractions. LanierWorld consists of three sections: Family Fun Park, Big Beach and Sunset Cove. Amenities run the gamut from an array of water slides, carnival rides, a mini golf course and more.
