GUNTERSVILLE LAKE HYDROFEST JUNE 6-8, 2025

Just 10 days left until the South’s Fastest Water is back in action! FIVE classes of boats will be racing, and two vintage hydroplanes will be exhibiting on the water June 7 and 8 with FREE testing on Friday, June 6. The weekend is full of non-stop fun. Tickets start at just $15 for a day pass, but prices will increase on June 1.
Alabama is known for fast cars and famous racetracks. What about fast boats and famous water? Lake Guntersville invites you to an extreme summer event where you can watch the fastest boats today, race four and five wide on an oval course at speeds of 200 mph. Two days of competitive racing as drivers volley to take home the Southern Cup. This tradition dates back to the 1940s and is definitely one for your bucket list.
