On May 20-21, the Elizabethtown-White Lake Chamber of Commerce is commencing its 44th Annual White Lake Water Festival.
The theme for this year’s festival, ‘Make a Splash,’ will include new features such as a Putt-Putt Golf tournament and a float contest.
The festival will kick off at 8 a.m. on May 20 with the Elizabethtown Rotary International Golf Tournament. On May 21, the day will begin again at 8 a.m. with the White Lake Water Festival Car Show.
“We want to start out with a big splash,” Terri Dennison, the Chamber’s executive director said. “We are asking everyone to surround the lake, especially the area from Camp Clearwater to Goldston’s Beach at 6 p.m. Friday night. When they hear a loud horn, they should jump or splash loudly into the water.”
Some other exciting features in the festival this year include performances by Autumn Tyde, Rivermist and the Pink Slips, a vehicle show featuring classic cars, trucks, and other vehicles, and a parade.
There will also be a variety of food vendors and food trucks in attendance. The White Lake Fire Department will host a chicken BBQ at 11 a.m. with plates at $10 each.

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
