🗓 Saturday, May 16

Bring your crew, bring your socks, and come celebrate with us while supporting Barefoot Wakes military family lake trips.

This track from 1972 crept into our set list pretty early on stemming from TJ Scarlett's solo set, but it's always been a hit for the band and gets the older...

When we asked for support, HydroHoist stepped up in a big way. ❤️

As longtime partners to all the Grand Lake dealers and a company committed to quality, safety, and community, HydroHoist understands that what happens on the water is about more than boats. It’s about families, memories, and time together.

We’re incredibly grateful to have HydroHoist Boat Lifts sponsoring the Kids Zone at Burning of the Socks 2026. Because of supporters like them, military families will get the opportunity to unplug, reconnect, and make lasting memories together on Grand Lake.

Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the families we serve. 🇺🇸

You had us at DUNK TANK. 🎯💦

This is your official notice to warm up your pitching arm! You’re absolutely going to want a front row seat for the chaos. Where else can you support military families and dunk your friends, neighbors, local celebrities, and willing victims into freezing cold water? (Well, tepid at least ...)

🔥 3 throws = $10
🔥 Watching Robin Carpenter, Blind Swine's Brewster, .florida, & friends hit the water = PRICELESS

Check out the schedule, set your reminders, and come ready to make a splash for a great cause. 🌊

Turns out the best way to support military families is by aggressively soaking our willing volunteers!

Thanks to My Grand Lake Concierge for hosting!

No seriously … we REALLY do burn the socks. 🔥🧦

Dig deep into that drawer of lonely ankle socks, stretched-out gym socks, and the pairs that should’ve retired three lake seasons ago. Bring them to Burning of the Socks and help us send winter packing the only reasonable way possible: with a ceremonial bonfire and questionable choices!

Summer at Grand Lake starts with:
🍹 a cold drink
🔥 a bonfire
🎶 live music
…and absolutely zero intentions of wearing closed-toe shoes again.

Huge thanks to Duck Creek Liquor for supporting the fun and keeping Grand Lake stocked for summer. Whether you need spirits, mixers, gourmet cheeses, grass-fed beef, or seasonings that make you look way better at grilling than you actually are! They’ve got you covered.

More than a liquor store. Basically summer headquarters. ☀️

HOT TAKE: Shop Local. You can buy more wine if you don't spend money on gas to go get it! ✨💁‍♀️
