Adrenaline-Fueled Sprint Boat Racing Is Coming To Yakima!

One thing I’ve always wanted to do was get down to the Tri-Cities to watch the boat races. I’ve seen videos, I’ve had friends and family members who have gone, and it looks so much fun!

But I’ve never been able to. For one reason or another, that is just an itch that I’ve been unable to scratch.

Thanks to State Fair Park & Event Center, American Sprint Boat Racing, and the STIHL Pro Racing Series, I might not have to travel to experience that excitement, and cross something off my bucket list!

State Fair Park Sprint Boat Racing is Coming to Yakima!

The State Fair Park and Event Center is going to be making waves, LITERALLY!

Look for a portion of the old racetrack infield to be transformed, and Sprint Boat Racing will be coming to the Yakima Valley!

Mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, August 16th and 17th, when this brand-new, fast-paced, high-octane action comes to the State Fair Park!

“We have been working on this project for the past two years; it’s so exciting to see this project become a reality. There are countless benefits – not just for State Fair Park, but for the entire community.” – State Fair Park CEO Kathy Kramer.

Expect the State Fair Park Sprint Boat Racing to attract 35 to 40 boat racing teams, and fans from near and far, thanks to the partnering between State Fair Park and the American Sprint Boat Racing, LLC (ASBR).

Take a look at a promo reel from ASBR's 2023 season, and get a taste of the fun coming to the Yakima Valley!

Tickets for the event go on sale on Thursday, May 1st at 10 am at StateFairPark.org or the State Fair Park’s ticket office.
