The fireworks will be shot from Beach 3 on July 4, beginning at approximately 9:15PM, lighting up the night sky over the lake. Good viewing venues include the Clubhouse lawn, Main Beach, dam and lake. Please note that parking is not permitted on the dam. If parking along the roadside of any street, all wheels must be completely
off the pavement to avoid interference with emergency or other traffic. Do not block driveways.

Personal Fireworks Are Not Permitted within the Lake Monticello community at any time. Advisory to Boaters: Police Chief Tom Boisvert reports that VA laws for operating a boat while intoxicated are the same as for an automobile. A boat operator can be arrested for boating under the influence if the blood alcohol level is 0.08 or above. The VA Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) will have an officer patrolling at Lake Monticello on July 4 to enforce boating laws. VDGIF routinely patrols at other times as well. Penalties for boating under the influence (BUI) also can include stiff monetary penalties, mandatory attendance at alcohol awareness classes and revocation of the privilege to operate a boat for at least a year. All operators of boats at Lake Monticello shall have a Lake Monticello boat license. After dark, the lake goes to no wake operation for all boats. Additionally, the Lake Monticello Water Safety Patrol will have a boat staffed and patrolling the Lake. VA laws do not prohibit alcohol onboard a boat, as they prohibit open containers of alcohol in other areas, but it has been proven that consumption of alcohol by anyone in a boat increases the likelihood of death/injury should an accident occur. Diving for Dam Work Resumes: Over the next several weeks, Watershed Services will be removing the non-functioning low level drain valve and installing a new valve at the headwall of the main dam sluiceway. The work will be done underwater requiring extensive dive work, and the red dive barge will once again be anchored in the lake near the dam. It is of the upmost importance to protect the safety of the divers and prevent disruption of crucial repairs. Boaters, please observe a 200-foot no boats allowed perimeter around the barge. Marina Point Is Private Property and is not open for general use during the 4th of July activities, including fireworks. Please respect the private property signs posted.
