Small Business Saturday - Holiday Passport Stroll

City and LOPD Named Non-Profit of the Year: Last month, the City of Lake Ozark and Lake Ozark Police Department were honored to be named the 2025 Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit of the Year.Over 200 lake area business owners and community members were present to vote on this award and others, and we are grateful for the recognition given by the community we serve. Of this award, City Administrator Harrison Fry stated, "This is the result of years' worth of intentional effort to continue finding ways to better serve our community and the folks who come visit every year. Through the summer, the men and women of LOPD have a tough task in front of them but they are supported every step of the way by our mayor and aldermen, and the members of this community we call home."

Small Business Saturday – Holiday Passport Stroll

Mayor David Ridgely has proclaimed Saturday, November 29th, 2025 as Small Business Saturday in Lake Ozark.

Part of a nationwide initiative to encourage people to shop and support locally owned businesses in their own community, the Bagnell Dam Strip Association is hosting their Light Up The Strip event for a festive day of shopping, strolling, dining and holiday cheer! New this year is the Holiday Passport Stroll, where area businesses are stamping event passports so that folks who visit several businesses may be entered to win a prize package. More information is available at https://www.facebook.com/events/727460423705599/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[]%7D

While participating in the event this weekend and throughout the holiday season, we hope you enjoy new decorations being placed throughout the City and take a picture at our photo stop near the top of the Strip!
