According to Parks and Recreation’s Lorie Judd, “They’re all great seats—the furthest is only 90 feet from the stage! It’s going to be a great show. We’re also going to have great food vendors and the fireworks over Big Bear Lake after the show, so what could be better than that?” Since the show is at Swim Beach, and boating on the Fourth is a tradition for many, there will also be boat entry available at the Lou Gramm concert. For $250 per boat, no matter the number onboard, concert-goers can enjoy the show from the cove of Swim Beach. The concert begins at 6:30pm, and the annual fireworks show over Big Bear Lake will be immediately following.
