Memorial Day Weekend

Come celebrate Memorial Day Weekend at OWA Parks & Resort! We're honoring our nation’s heroes and kicking off summer with three days of star-spangled fun, family-friendly activities, and exciting entertainment.
Starting Friday, May 23, guests can enjoy a bubble truck party, patriotic kids activities including a historical scavenger hunt, lawn games, and more. Coca-Cola will also be on site for a special Share a Coke activation—get a personalized Coke while supplies last! Uncle Sam will also be roaming Downtown for memorable photo ops!
On Saturday, enjoy patriotic kids crafts, the Star Spangled Acrobatic Show by Luminary Entertainment, and live music on the Island Stage featuring Howling Grace and Edgewood Heavy. The evening ends with a patriotic fireworks show at 8:50 pm!
Wrap up the weekend on Sunday with a Boat Making Contest, more games and inflatables, and a special Dive-In Movie Night* at Tropic Falls’ Big Water Bay featuring Stuart Little—float in the wave pool while you watch!
Whether you’re from around the corner or just in town for the weekend, OWA is the place to be for Memorial Day fun, family memories, and summer vibes.
