Lake Diane Fireworks Volunteer Group Info 2026
The Lake Diane, July 4th fireworks display has been an extraordinary tradition for over thirty years.
Unfortunately, as most are aware, this past year’s celebration was not without incident.
We have been given notice by the pyrotechnic company that they will no longer be able to provide a show at Lake Diane due to insurance requirements
It is with deep regret that we will not have a fireworks display in July 2026
We appreciate all who have supported our efforts to provide our lake community with over thirty years of celebrations.

Weed Treatment touch up scheduled for Tuesday, July 15
July 15 – re-treatment
July 15-19 – avoid irrigation inclusive
Solitude will be on site at Lake Diane to touch up areas that are needed for re-treatment. A survey was done along with participant reports and through our contract we will have those areas touched up to ensure the intended outcome of weed management.
Advice is to turn off irrigation systems for July 15-19 or as directed on the posted yard signs that will be put out in the coming days in areas of treatment.
Skin contact avoidance recommended for 24hrs – see yard postings for exact specifications in your area.

Weed Management Treatment – Approved – Scheduled for week of June 16th
Map of participation
Treatment scheduled for Tuesday June 17th
Flag Posting has occurred and is used for:
- notify the public and landowners of the treatment and restrictions as a result for the safety of animals, plants, and humans
- help the navigators on the boats see where the GPS locations are for treatment and non-treatment.
Flag placement will not be accurate to the lot lines of your property. Treatment is done via GPS navitgation. Flags are also places in regions to be treated and regions to not be treated. For example, 10 lots in a row may only have two flags. Flag color changes are there to help the navigators know boundaries of treat and skip (e.g. moving from a green section to a pink section means that is a boundary or vice versa) . Moving the flags will not cause a change in treatment as it is only used to help orient the navigators and not the GPS location of treatment. If you feel a section is grossly incorrect (ie. an entire area is skipped) please notify the LDCA board to have it corrected ASAP. An example of an error to notify is if there are no signs on your lots or neighbors lots and there is supposed to be a spray and non spray in that area. Another example would be if you see a color change pattern that does not map to the drawing above. Do not notify if your lot is missing a sign – check the signs around you to the map as it may be part of a larger region of multiple lots.
Here is an example flyer
Please ensure your irrigation systems are turned off Monday and follow the posting on your lawn or check back here or with LDCA for restrictions
The LDCA is happy to announce that the permit and logistics for approval for weed treatment has been granted.
