I can think of no better setting to celebrate!” \nThe Lake Hopatcong event combines the county’s anniversary programming with the lake’s longstanding role as a regional destination for boating\, recreation and community gatherings. Through the countywide America 250 initiative\, organizers are using the anniversary to connect contemporary public events with Morris County’s Revolutionary-era history. \n“As our nation celebrates 250 years of independence\, this event provides a unique way to honor our shared history while enjoying one of New Jersey’s most treasured destinations\,” said Sarah Neibart\, executive director of the Morris County 250th Anniversary Celebrations Committee. “We hope residents and visitors alike will join us in creating a memorable and patriotic celebration on the lake.” \nA complete schedule is available through the “America’s 250th Birthday on Lake Hopatcong” event information page.
