The Marble Falls Chamber of Commerce proudly announces the return of the Lakefest Boat Races held on August 7th & 8th after a 3-year long hiatus. In partnership with the Southern Drag Boat Association, Lakefest provides spectators the rush of adrenalin as drag boats race along Lake Marble Falls at 200 MPH.

To start off the competition, visitors and locals will have free entry to the ever favorite “Show & Shine” where they will get an insider look at the extreme sport. Drag boats will be on display and attendees will be able to meet the drivers in Johnson Park Friday Night from 5-8PM.

Craft makers, bakers, and style creators from around the Hill Country will be situated outside the gate for free entry, so attendees will be able to explore these vendors for great gifts and treats on Saturday from 8AM-6PM.

Qualifying races begin Saturday morning at 9AM and will continue into the afternoon. Elimination rounds will begin on Sunday morning at 9AM and awards will be given to the winners Sunday Night in Johnson Park at 5:30PM. All gates will open at 7AM.

Coolers will be allowed at the event for a $20 cooler fee each day. Attendees can purchase the Cooler Passes online, or at the gate. This is a Bring-Your-Own-Beverage even; organizers will not be selling any alcohol. Food Trucks and vendors will be available inside the gate for non-alcoholic beverages and food.

Tickets begin at $20 per day, with discounted children, senior, and veteran tickets.

Attendees can purchase the Top Eliminator Package which includes two-day admission, a full weekend access to the Lakeside Pavilion Lounge with A/C, breakfast, lunch, 3 drink tickets (21+), and an event t-shirt for $150.
