North America’s oldest continuously run hydroplane boat race is back for its 97th year, and this year’s Summer Nationals! Enjoy a children’s area, food vendors, Bay Education, and environmental exhibits. Free admission.

Spectating areas are on the Mercury Blvd. bridge that leads to Fort Monroe and the grassy area on Stilwell Drive. Racing starts at 11:00AM and ends at approximately 5:00PM. We recommend bringing your own seating.

Parking is available on surrounding public Streets in Phoebus. There will be plenty of signage identifying “Boat Race Parking”. Parking may also be available on Fort Monroe. Stay on designated road ways and parking areas. Please do not park on the grassy areas unless otherwise permitted.
