Cost: There is no charge to participate in this event.

You can become a member on the day of the event to get this BLA SPECIAL (or join the BLA today: https://bit.ly/43bB2nm )

This event is open to more than just kayaks. If it floats and does not have a motor, you can participate in this event!!!!

Registration is from 11:00 AM to Noon.

Regatta starts at Noon.

The plan is to leave together and stay as a group.

You can join us if you have a kayak, canoe, rowboat, paddleboard, pedal boat, or any other non-motorized watercraft. For the most part, you're in if it does not have a motor.

This event will start at Cove W Winery (820 OH-14, Deerfield, OH 44411) and head west through the no-wake zone. The turnaround point will be the end of the no-wake zone.

NEW 4-mile option this year!!!!

Feel free to spend the evening at the winery, even after you've used your tickets for a "backyard casual" vibe, and enjoy their private-label wines and beers, wine slushies, sangrias, other beers, and liquors. Burgers, dogs, BBQ, and cheese plates are also available for sale.

Not a BLA Member?

Join the BLA for $25 before you start the regatta, and each BLA plan member who finishes will also receive one $8 food/beverage coupon. If both Family Plan members complete the regatta, each will receive one $8 food-and-beverage coupon. That is a $16 value. Therefore, you can become a BLA member for only $9.00 more.

Notes:

All BLA membership plans include up to 2 members living in the same household.

The $8.00 food and drink coupons must be used for a single purchase. For example, if your bill is $6.00, and you use your $8.00 coupon, you will receive no change.

The $8.00 coupons have no cash value.

BLA Event Managers will have sole discretion regarding any questions or issues regarding the suitability of your non-motorized watercraft or questions about the event.

Memorial Day Fireworks Update for Sunday Night - See Below

🎆 Weather Update for our Memorial Weekend Celebration 🌧️

Berlin Lake, we’ve been holding onto hope for better weather conditions, but unfortunately we need to share an important update.

After continuing to closely monitor the weather forecast, it appears Sunday is expected to bring conditions very similar to today, including cool temperatures, rain, and the potential for thunderstorms into the evening hours. With so many of our guests attending by boat, we never want to put anyone in a situation where they may be traveling on the water during unsafe weather conditions. As you can imagine, rain and stormy conditions do not make for the best or safest event experience.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Sunday’s Memorial Weekend fireworks celebration.

Unfortunately, moving the show to Memorial Day Monday is not a practical option, as we know many families and visitors will be traveling home during our scheduled show time.

While we are disappointed, we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support, donations, and sponsorships we’ve received from this amazing community. Because of your generosity, all remaining donations and product will roll over into our Fourth of July celebration — and we’re already looking forward to making that show even bigger and better for everyone.

We also want our donors and sponsors to know that if anyone would prefer a refund, we will absolutely honor that request.

Thank you again for your understanding, support, and continued enthusiasm for these events. We truly appreciate the Berlin Lake community and look forward to celebrating together soon under much better skies.

Be sure to like and follow our page for updates on future events, including our upcoming Fourth of July celebration honoring America’s 250th Birthday! 🇺🇸🎆

Memorial Day Fireworks Update

🎆 Weather update for our Memorial Weekend Celebration 🌧️

We’ve been watching the weather forecast closely, and with the current outlook calling for cold temperatures and rain, we feel it’s best to make a change so everyone can enjoy the fireworks at their very best.

Our current plan is to move the fireworks display to Sunday at the same time, pending better weather conditions. We’ll continue to monitor things closely and will post another update tomorrow (Saturday) with more information regarding Sunday’s show.

We are incredibly grateful for all of the donations and support we’ve received to help make this show possible. Your generosity means so much to us, and we want to make sure we honor that support by putting on the best and safest show possible for our community.

We know schedule changes can be disappointing, but we’re staying optimistic and hoping for clearer skies on Sunday! ☀️🎇

Thank you all for your understanding, support, and excitement — we can’t wait to celebrate together soon!

From Dusty:

Hey Berlin Lake! We are back and ready for another big show this year! We are just a few days away from Memorial Day Weekend, so we are kicking off our 2026 Memorial Day Weekend Campaign again! Thank you so much to everyone who donated last year to help make the show a success; we could not have done it without all of you!

To our new donors: Have you ever wanted to be part of a display but have avoided it because of its high costs? No worries, leave the show to us! We are a group of local, experienced enthusiasts fundraising to help cover the costs of our volunteer 2026 Berlin Lake display! Any contribution helps us to put on a spectacular display for Berlin Lake! And good news, any contributions over our goal will roll over to our 4th of July show! For updates and content, follow us on Instagram and Facebook!

Saturday, May 23rd! @ 10:00 PM, viewable by boat-in only in the ‘quarter mile speed zone’ (No public vehicle viewing)

Please note that all donated money goes toward the cost of the fireworks. Dusty and his crew volunteer their time to make this a great display.

We are sad to let you know about the passing of Duke, the Owner of Dutch Harbor. His presence on Berlin Lake will be missed.
