YAKIMA — Fans of high-octane action won’t want to miss the 2026 Sprint Boat Races, roaring back to State Fair Park this summer for two weekends of excitement.
The American Sprint Boat Racing Circuit will be back in Yakima June 13-14 and Aug. 15-16, featuring some of the fastest racing teams from across the country, with several teams coming from as far as Australia and New Zealand. Each race promises edge-of-your-seat action as two-person teams hit speeds over 80 mph while making hairpin turns on a dime, all racing against the clock.
“Sprint boat racing is one of the fastest growing action motorsports in the country,” said Kathy Kramer, President/CEO at State Fair Park & Event Center. “We are thrilled to bring this exciting entertainment option to the Valley and welcome visitors from across the country to enjoy the races and experience all the Valley has to offer.”
New this season, a Family 4-Pack for $99 (plus fees) is available only through April. The pass provides four general admission entries to any one race day. The Family 4-Pack can be purchased at StateFairPark.org or at the ticket office.
