Pewaukee Salutes US Navy Saturday

The US Navy Ceremonial Color Guard marches at the Lake Country Clean Water Festival to officially kick-off the celebration of the lakes in the Village of Pewaukee. Being assigned to the color guard is considered an honor due to the fact that these individuals present and carry the symbols of the unit of the U.S. Navy and our country.  Stay to enjoy the many festivities immediately following the US Navy presentation at the Lake Country Clean Water Festival in conjunction with the Pewaukee Kiwanis Beach Party.  Live music, street dance, food and beer.  Fun for the whole family!
