Dining event on the Lake Murray dam is canceled due to weather. What to know
A planned event to bring a fine dining experience to the Lake Murray dam this weekend has been canceled.
Organizers made the call Wednesday to cancel this Sunday’s Dining on the Dam event as inclement weather is expected in the area this weekend.
“After consulting with multiple agencies and our event vendors, the Chamber has concluded that the forecasted weather conditions pose safety concerns,” the Lexington Chamber and Visitors Center said in a statement.
The chamber had planned to host the annual event on the Dreher Shoals Dam from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday. The sunset dinner annually draws hundreds to eat out at the top of the massive dam on the Saluda River that creates the Midlands’ largest lake. North Lake Drive/S.C. 6, which crosses the dam, is closed to traffic as ticketbuyers enjoy a catered meal.
AccuWeather estimates an 84% of rain Sunday morning through evening, with a possibility of a thunderstorm developing.
Chamber President Angelle LaBorde said the event will be rescheduled, likely in the fall.
“Significant logistical and safety concerns regarding patron and vendor well-being necessitated this decision,” LaBorde said in a statement. “We look forward to hosting the event in the Fall, where all previously purchased tickets will be valid.”
