It's a beach party for the members of Suissevale. A DJ is hired and has been for years. There is law enforcement on duty to make sure all goes well. Suissevale has over 350 homes, there are going to be people there every year...especially on 4th of July weekend with nice weather.

FWIW, get your complaints ready for when Jam Sandwich plays at Suissevale beach in a few weeks as well as when they have their annual Labor Day beach party.

Boy, I'm sure glad there wasn't a loud party with a band, and fireworks, playing till close to midnight in Glendale on Saturday. People would really be complaining.

Suissevale beach has about three major beach parties during the summer and has had for a long time. Unless you can afford a mile of beach front these days, you will have to put up with your neighbor.

I grew up in Gilford, a couple of houses down (LSP side) of the old Gilford Shore Cottages, which were just down from the old Chanticleer. In those days (the 50's) you could walk out any day of the year and hear very little. You could also look up and seemingly observe every star in the sky. You could row out into 20 feet of water and see the bottom stones and sand, clearly. Boy, how things have changed. I long for those days.... (not just because I was a kid then... LOL), its the piece, quite and serenity the lake used to represent.

So, how does this relate to the beach party? There is no house closer to their loudspeakers than mine. These guys do three parties per year, what the heck. At about 10PM, I got tired, closed my windows, turned on the AC and slept like a baby.

I get up in the morning, open my door to a 12 foot high, 150 foot long spite fence put up by a new neighbor of about 3 months. Can't do anything about it, its legal, so I just enjoy what is left of the pleasantries on the lake, it will get worse. There will be a tipping point, where my memories of the greatness of the lake will be overshadowed by the 'new' lake and I will move deep into the woods. Sort of sad.

In summary, enjoy what you have, complaining will change little and cause more conflict, heck, why not have your own birthday party next week, not to annoy your neighbors, but to enjoy your own piece of the lake, while you remember the good times of today before tomorrow comes.

What does 350 homes have anything to do with having music loud enough so someone a mile away can hear it?

Why doesn't everyone discussing the party agree to disagree and leave it at that? Go out on the lake and enjoy this beautiful day. That is what I am doing. Summer goes by so quickly!

Last year my group (4 adults, 5 kids) arrived the Saturday after the 4th for a week's vacation. We stayed in a home on the lake very close to the beach where the party took place. To be honest, we thought it was quite a treat to have that atmosphere happening on first night of vacation. All of us enjoyed the music and partying going on. It was a great way to kick of our week.

We are staying at the same home this year and arrive (once again) the Saturday after the 4th. We are all hoping that Suissvale does there thing again and welcomes us back to the lake with a big beach bash!

You'll be in for a treat then come Saturday night...the joys of being part of the best association on the lake

Thanks for the confirmation Shreddy!

We are looking forward to the 'Welcoming Party' and a great week on the Lake. Looking at the weather forecast it looks like summer is arriving just in time for us and this wet weather is heading out of here.

We will be dancing in the backyard, listening to the party come Saturday evening...Can't Wait!

fireworks Friday night suissvale party animals?

Misty Blue · 07-03-2013, 09:17 PM

We crashed that party last year and had a ball!!!

Volly ball, music, dancing in the sand and really good, fun people.

After the fireworks, which were awsome, I tried to slip a $20 to the people who were running the event. There were three guys who bank rolled the fireworks and the only thing that they wanted from me is to share a Bud lite. I hate cheap beer but, heck I was a guest... This is their thing and they spend around 3K to put it on and just want to watch the folks have a good time.

We need more of that. Wicked good time!

The best celebration on the lake. Can't wait for this years even. this is what summer is all aboout

Sue Doe-Nym · 07-05-2013, 10:48 AM

When did Suissevale resume the fireworks?

They stopped doing them many years ago due to safety concerns, costs and some other reasons. The beach parties are cool but I don't think that fireworks are part of the festivities.

psherry · 06-16-2015, 11:48 AM

My group is heading up to the Lake for our 5th year. Our place is right on the water and in sight of Suissevale. In the past we have come up the Saturday after the 4th and enjoyed the sights and sounds of Suissevale's beach party. This year our week starts on the 4th. We are really hoping that Suissevale will be providing the music and fireworks for us again this year. Can anyone confirm that Suissevale is planning their beach party again this year? If they are not I will venture out on the water and catch one of the other firework displays from the boat.

Thanks!

dpg · 06-16-2015, 01:40 PM

Suissevale does not put on a fireworks show anymore, haven't for awhile. They have their own assoc party still. Yes - there's music.

DPG is correct, there are no official Suissevale fireworks, but there are plenty of "unofficial" firework displays all around the area that can be seen from shore or boat.
