Friends of Lakeshore State Park is excited to bring back Wildflowers on the Water. Come celebrate our beautiful blooming prairies and join us on Saturday, September 7, 2024, as the Friends of Lakeshore State Park partner with Sincerely in Song and local singer, songwriter and friend of the parks, Sarah Fierek, to curate an experience that honors the land and helps raise awareness for the work of Friends of Lakeshore State Park. The 2nd Annual Wildflowers on the Water – A Friends of Lakeshore State Park Gathering will include live music, local artists and creators as well as food trucks, a community drumming circle, big kites and activities for the youth and general public. All ages and abilities welcome! Event vendors and activities will be throughout the park.
We encourage the public to support the fundraising efforts for projects at the park such as wildflowers being planted in the park, educational programming to the park, infrastructure and more. Sarah Fierek’s song, “Wildflowers”, which was released last year at the inaugural event last September, will continue to support the mission of Friends of Lakeshore State Park and dedicate a percentage of the song’s earnings back to Friends of Lakeshore State Park.
