BASS LAKE, CA, (June 4, 2020) – The Bass Lake Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has announced the cancellation of the 2020 Bass Lake Fourth of July fireworks.

“It is with a lot of sadness and heartfelt discussion with community leaders and business partners that the Bass Lake Chamber has made the difficult decision to cancel the fireworks show this year,” voiced Theresa Wilson, President of the Bass Lake Chamber of Commerce. “Although this is disappointing news for all of us, you'd better believe that we'll be back in 2021 with the biggest, best show the mountains have ever seen.”

The Fourth of July holiday falls on a weekend this year, bringing concerns of crowding to these stunning outdoor locations. Local tourism officials would like to remind visitors of critical guidelines that will help keep everyone safe and healthy:

1. If you are sick or have symptoms of COVID-19 – PLEASE STAY HOME!
2. Pack it in, and pack it out. A clean Bass Lake begins with you. #KeepBassLakeClean
3. Off-road and parking in non-designated areas is prohibited and strictly enforced. 
4. Personal fireworks of any kind are illegal at Bass Lake and in Madera County. Please protect the forest, the lake and families by reporting any fireworks or unsafe behavior by calling the Madera County Sheriff department's non-emergency dispatch at, 559-642-3201.

The family-owned and locally loved, businesses of Bass Lake wish everyone a safe and joyous Independence Day!
