The Chesterton/Duneland Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the second annual Fireworks on the Lakefront, July 2nd 2010, at the Indiana Dunes State Park. This event will be hosted by The Town of Porter with support as well from the municipalities of Chesterton and Burns Harbor. This event is a cooperation of The Indiana Dunes State Park, The Department of Natural Resources, The National Park Service, and the Coast Guard.
“Bringing all the teams together for a Duneland celebration that promises to be even better than last year’s inaugural event is a great feeling” stated Heather Ennis, Executive Director of the Chesterton/Duneland Chamber, “ Third Coast Spice Café, Leroy’s Hot Dog Cart, El Salto, Val’s Famous Pizza and Grinders, Pendleton Dairy Queen Grill and Chill and Sahara Restaurant will be on hand selling food and the Chris and Lou Band performing live provided by the generous sponsorship of County Line Orchard. We hope that everyone will come out and have a great time, the fireworks should start around 9:15 but get there early to enjoy all the fun.”
