Alan Jackson’s Lake Stage Highlights Aquapalooza 2009 on Lake Martin

Yep, you heard it right.  The organizers of Aquapalooza 2009 are building a stage on the edge of Lake Martin for Alan Jackson.

And the only way to see the concert is on the water, by boat.

It’s an all day event on Saturday, July 25, with music starting at 11:30 AM and Jackson headlining at 6:00 PM.  Since safety is an issue with an event this size, the concert will be over before dark.

According to The Wetumpka Herald, the stage will be built at the water’s edge, over on the western side Kowaliga Bridge near Sinclair’s Restaurant. There will be a swimming area and dance platform directly in front of the stage.

If you want an upclose view of Jackson, get there early (boats can begin “rafting up” on Friday at 2:00 PM Central).  And please, have at least one sober driver and one sober first mate per boat.  The driver will need to be alert to maneuver, and the mate will need to be the extra set of eyes and help fend off other bumping boats.

There will be mooring buoys with lines in Kowaliga Bay. Attendants on Sea-Doo® watercrafts will direct traffic and helping with boat mooring, and a shuttle service will help you to and from your boat.

Questions about this concert?  Here’s a link to the offical Aquapalooza 2009 website FAQs.

Have fun and be safe.

   Can you stay in your boat for the Allen Jackson Concert?

2. John Coley said at July 13th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

   Yes, you can stay in your boat for Aquapalooza. In fact, that’s what they prefer. If my understanding is correct, there will be NO way to park a car and walk up to the concert at Kowaliga Marina, you must come from the water. They will be providing anchors etc that you can tie into. Thanks for your comment, be safe, enjoy Lake Martin and this free Alan Jackson concert!

   Where is Lake Martin??

4. John C said at July 15th, 2009 at 7:32 pm

   Trina- Lake Martin is in east central Alabama. Click on the Google Map link just under the picture above for exact directions to the concert site. Remember, you can’t drive there, only come by boat. But there is a boat launch directly across the water, on the north side of the bridge.

    what is the schedule for 2010?

13. John Coley said at December 24th, 2009 at 9:55 pm

    Megan, from what I can tell, Sea Ray has not posted a schedule for 2010 yet. If anyone knows differently, please post in a comment here. I will blog it as soon as I hear about it.

14. John Coley said at February 23rd, 2010 at 9:53 pm

    By the way, Sea Ray has selected Lake Travis in Texas for the official 2010 Signature Event.

    Hopefully Sea Ray will send a mini Aquapalooza to Lake Martin this year!

    will it be going on in 2010 too?

16. John Coley said at May 31st, 2010 at 7:34 pm

    Marissa- they have announced the date as Saturday, July 24, 2010. They have not annouced the musical lineup but we do know that it will not be as big as it was in 2009. That year the “signature event” was at Lake Martin. This year it is in Texas so we will have a mini event here on Lake Martin. Click here for more info.
