Every May the harbor is full of boaters proudly displaying their vessels. If you’re a nature buff, you’ll love the annual Red Oak Fishing tournament in June, or even more intriguing, the Lake Area Master Gardeners garden walk.

If you fashion yourself a sommelier, you can’t miss the annual Missouri Wine Festival held every August.
