Join us for Fire on the Water, the City of Pelham’s annual fireworks show at Oak Mountain State Park on Thursday, July 3, 2025!
Annual passes are valid on July 3, 2025, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For those who are not pass holders, regular entrance fees apply until 4:00 p.m. From 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Pelham residents will receive a special rate of $10 per vehicle (You must be able to show proof of residency). The rate for everyone else is $15 per vehicle, so carpool and save! *Both gates take cash and card payments.*
Both gates will close to the public at 7:00 p.m. to ensure the safety of all OMSP visitors leading up to the fireworks show, which will begin at 9:00 p.m. sharp! Please plan accordingly. Campground guests and cabin guests will be let in and out of the park through the back gate after 7:00 p.m. if you need to exit the park.
We'll have food and beverage vendors on site and items available to purchase beginning at 4:00 p.m. No alcohol allowed.
We also have beach volleyball, water rentals (kayaks/SUPs/Canoes/Peddle Boats), the Treetop Nature Trail, playground, basketball courts, and fishing piers in the show's vicinity for you to enjoy all day. You can bring your own chairs/blankets for viewing the show, and you will be allowed to bring in your own coolers if you choose (just remember: no alcohol is allowed). Picnic tables are available throughout the event area, and there are grills scattered throughout the park that are open to the public! Picnic tables and grills are first come, first served.
Pelham Police and Fire, Park Rangers, and DCNR Game Wardens will be on site for the event to ensure public safety!
