The Shoals Lions Club has thrown a Fourth of July celebration on the banks of the White River since 1985, when two locals dreamed it up while fishing off the Highway 50 bridge. Traditions include a queen's fish kiss and the Big Catfish Contest; the festival marked its 40th year in 2025. It is held over the Independence Day holiday each year.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
