If you’re planning to spend the weekend at the 2026 Mineral Lake Fishing Derby, there’s one very important thing you need to know…
Come hungry.
Because Derby Bites is back—and Saturday is shaping up to be a full day of incredible food, cold drinks, live music, and that laid-back lakeside vibe we all love.
🍴 Derby Bites • Saturday Only
On Saturday, April 25, the Mineral Lake Lions Den Campground transforms into a hub of flavor with 6+ food vendors serving up everything from hearty comfort food to sweet treats and fresh coffee.
Whether you’re grabbing breakfast before heading out on the water, refueling midday, or settling in for the evening festivities—there’s something for everyone.
🍻 Beer Garden + 🎶 Live Music
Make a day of it.
The Beer Garden will be open from 11 AM – 8 PM, offering cold brews and a place to kick back with friends.
And we’re excited to welcome back fan-favorite Mason Gaul, bringing live music from 11:30 AM – 2:30 PM. If you’ve heard him before, you already know… if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat.
🎬 Evening Movie by the Lake
As the day winds down, stick around for a special showing of
Rainier: A Beer Odyssey at 5:45 PM.
It’s the perfect way to wrap up a full day at the lake—good food, good people, and a movie under the open sky.

⚠️ A Quick Heads-Up
Cell service in Mineral can be spotty—so do yourself a favor and bring cash so you don’t miss out on any of the food, drinks, or fun.
👉 Don’t Miss It
Derby Bites is more than just food—it’s part of what makes the Fishing Derby weekend such a special community event.
So grab your friends, bring your appetite, and plan to spend some time off the water enjoying everything Saturday has to offer.
