Taking place on June 24 & 25, the annual Guntersville Lake HydroFest offers two days of competitive racing as drivers compete for the Southern Cup title. But HydroFest isn’t just about the race. The weekend’s on-land activities bring together adventure lovers from all over the South.
Party Tents
A highlight this year will be the first ever Rooster Tail Party Tent. With great views of the lake course, partygoers can enjoy the race with games like cornhole and giant beer pong, a DJ, lunch, and non-alcoholic beverages. Tickets are $60 per person and grant access to the lively tent on both days.
In addition to the Rooster Tail Party Tent there is also the Club Level. This $120 point of entry includes access to a large, private tented area for on-the-water viewing at the start/finish line. Along with lunch and nonalcoholic beverages, this top-tier spot offers one-of-a-kind viewing to experience the adrenaline in style.
