May 27, 2026

As we turn the page into summer at Grand Lake, what an incredible Memorial Day weekend we experienced across the region! From packed restaurants and marinas to families gathering on the water and visitors enjoying our local shops and attractions, the energy around Grand Lake Oklahoma was truly something special. It was wonderful to see our communities thriving and so many people making memories at the lake.


A huge thank you goes out to our Chamber members, volunteers, first responders, tourism partners, and businesses that worked tirelessly to welcome visitors and showcase why Grand Lake continues to be one of Oklahoma’s premier destinations. The momentum heading into summer is exciting, and we are just getting started!


Now it’s time to look ahead to one of the biggest weekends of the season — Toes in the Grand! We encourage everyone to make plans now to join us for an unforgettable weekend packed with activities for all ages. From live music and entertainment to shopping, food, family fun, and exciting community events, Toes in the Grand has become a true kickoff to summer tradition at Grand Lake Oklahoma.


Marketing and promotions are launching now, and excitement is building quickly. We also encourage businesses to continue supporting the event through sponsorships and participation opportunities as we work together to create another record-setting weekend for the Grand Lake region. Welcome event attendees on your signage and help us make visitors at home. The event drew 13,000 attendees last year. We are excited for another great year!  


Thank you again for your continued support of the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and for helping us build a stronger, more vibrant future for our communities. We look forward to seeing you at Toes in the Grand in a few weeks as we officially kick off summer at Grand Lake Oklahoma!
