Who's Ready For AquaPalooza 2018?

We are just one month away from the biggest party on the water at the Lake of the Ozarks - AquaPalooza! This year's event will be taking place on Saturday, July 21 at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach. If you haven't already started making plans, now is definitely the time to do so!

What is AquaPalooza?
AquaPalooza, in case you haven't heard, is the biggest single-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks. This amazing concert on the water takes place from noon-5 pm, with even more awesome entertainment happening in the evening once its over.

Thousands of people attend this annual event at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant every year, by land and by lake. Hundreds of boats will be parked in and around our docks for a prime view of the lakeside concert, but you can both hear and see the stage from the restaurant too, and it will be just as packed up there!

People come from all over the country to attend this awesome party. The waiting list for dock slips alone fills up a year in advance, but no worries, because all of the boaters that don't get a slip simply tie up to each other and fill the entire cove with watercraft. In between those boats, the lake is filled with people on floaties, sitting back, relaxing, and having a great time with all the new friends they're meeting.

As we mentioned, AquaPalooza can also be enjoyed from the restaurant. We've got the Dog Pound cranking out drinks as well as the swim-up bar at the pool. This year we've also got our brand new Wooftop Patio open for business with the most amazing view of the Lake of the Ozarks you've ever had the pleasure of seeing, especially on a day like this!

2018 Music Lineup
Every year the most entertaining live acts hit the AquaPalooza stage, and this year is no exception. We've got 4 incredible bands lined up to keep the party going all day long.

Chad Bearden

The I-Berrys

Ryan Collins Band

Goddesses of Rock

Don't expect the party to end once the last act leaves the stage, though, because we've got even more live music headed your way on our regular stages that night! First up, DJ Dr. Cheese and Taz the Drummer will entertain you from 6-10 pm, followed by Chad Bearden rocking the house 10 pm-close.

Make Travel Plans NOW!
If you're coming to the lake area from far away, start making those travel plans right now. If you live nearby, make sure you've made arrangments to get yourself to Dog Days Bar & Grill early on Saturday, July 21 and back home again late that evening. This is an annual event that you do not want to miss, and most likely the most exciting party you've ever attended. It's sure to produce all kinds of awesome stories to tell your friends about so that they make plans to join you for AquaPalooza 2019 next year!

Winter Opening (1-Night-Only) for a Mardi Gras Pub Crawl Pre-Party!!!

That's right folks, the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is opening our doors for a 1-night-only winter bash, and we want you to join us! We've always hated missing out on the amazing Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl since it takes place during our off-season, so this year Dog Days Bar & Grill has decided to throw a Mardi Gras Pub Crawl PRE-PARTY the night before so we can enjoy some of that fun along with you in true Dog Days style!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16
We're getting the Mardi Gras Pub Crawl celebration started early with an amazing pre-party to get you in the mood for a weekend full of excitement! The drinks will be flowing and just like in the summer, we've got the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks lined up to keep you on the dance floor all night long.

We've got a limited number of tickets for sale, so don't wait too long to get yours. (Don't think too hard about it, you know you wanna come!) They are $10 in advance, and you can get yours at our sister restaurant, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach: (573) 348-2277. Tickets are $15 at the door, but once the room is full, the sales will end! Doors open at 7 pm.

The Dope Ass Sneakers
Opening up the entertainment portion of the evening will be the incredible 90's hip-hop band the "Dope Ass Sneakers" starting at 8 pm. This live-action bunch of musicians takes on all of your favorite hip-hop, rap, and R&B party hits, not just from the 90's, but you'll get a few 80's and 2000's gems mixed in there as well. The perfect group to get you warmed up for our main musical act of the evening.

The Mixtapes
Dog Days Bar & Grill fans are no strangers to this AquaPalooza crowd favorite. A high-energy group of talented musicians that will take you back to a time when radio was fun and concerts got you excited! They're a premier level 90's tribute band playing all of your favorite radio hits from that fantastic decade of music. Every single member of this 5-piece band sings, allowing them to perform a gigantic range of popular songs from groups such as the Cranberries, Nirvana, No Doubt, Beastie Boys, TLC, Spice Girls, Weezer, Britney Spears, Beck, and LOTS more.

Pub Crawl at the Boot
You should have plenty of time to rest Saturday morning before the Mardi Gras Pub Crawl swings into gear. (Buses start running at 4 pm on Saturday, February 17.) So far this year they have 14 lake area bars & restaurants on the route, including Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. The Boot's learned a few things from their "big sister" restaurant over the years, so you know that part of the crawl is going to be an amazing party! A $10 wristband gets you into every stop on the route, each featuring awesome live music, plus you also get to ride the buses all night long between every stop.

Need a Place to Stay?
If you're coming from out of town, or if you simply want to rent an amazing Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental house so all of your friends can spend the weekend together in one spot, Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina can take care of you!

The White House sleeps up to 8 people comfortably, and the Red House can house up to 16 guests. Both houses are lakeside and offer all the comforts of home with spacious rooms, a full kitchen, and even a washer and dryer. You can book your stay online through a link on the Shorty Pants website, but hurry, because we won't be surprised if these book up quickly!

When you are making your Mardi Gras Pub Crawl weekend plans for this giant Lake of the Ozarks annual event, make sure you're here on Friday for Dog Days Bar & Grill's 1-night-only winter party with the Dope Ass Sneakers and the Mixtapes. After that, just a few more weeks until spring is here and we're back open for another season full of excitement!
