Affectionately named after the iconic film, JAWS on the Lake, will return this summer, and you won’t want to miss it.

Set against the backdrop of Lakefront Park, this big blue experience is one of Sylvan Lake’s most anticipated summer events, and if you’re a flick fanatic, it’s clear why.

Whether you’re stretched out on the grass or floating in the water on an inflatable, visitors will be shown a beloved H20-themed movie on a giant dual-sided screen.

More than just a viewing opportunity, this unique celebration will also bring food trucks and fun activities for all ages to the shore.
