Events at Cottonwood Creek Marina
Little Elm’s lakeside destination for the gathering of community
On an eastern tendril of Lake Lewisville, on a fractional piece of the 233-mile shoreline, rests an inviting center of activity for the entire Little Elm community.
Cottonwood Creek Marina invites members and the North Texas public to enjoy themselves on its docks and shores with parties, fireworks, and gatherings of boaters and their families that etch the lake with memory.

Cottonwood Creek Marina Annual Hosting Events
The Blessing of the Vessels
In early June, we host the Little Elm Police Department and Little Elm Fire Department as they blast arcing geysers of water for boats to pass under and celebrate an outpouring of good luck to ceremoniously begin the summer.
Summer Dock Parties
As the weather warms, we host monthly dock parties from May to September. We invite tenants to bring their family and friends for hot food, live music, and great company.
The July Fourth Weekend Fuel for Folds
The Fourth of July weekend on Lake Lewisville is patriotic, boisterous, and electric. The weekend’s fuel sales at Cottonwood Creek Marina which enable this activity support one of our favorite Texas-based organizations, Folds of Honor. Customers can purchase unique Folds of Honor t-shirts with a $100 or greater donation to show their support.
The Ten-Year Tenant Party
Every October, we celebrate tenants who have passed the threshold of a decade with Cottonwood Creek Marina. We host a private members’ party that has grown to include a Texas beer tasting and charcuterie.
