DockFest Race Day

The Rotary Club of Huntsville and signature sponsor Pipefusion Services Inc./NyDock.com are pleased to present the 5th annual Rotary DockFest.

The event takes place Saturday, July 8, 2017, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Huntsville’s historic downtown waterfront.

Back by popular demand, we are very excited to be resuming the media race to showcase our media partners who are so supportive of our club's mission.

The event will have something for everyone, so bring your friends and the whole family. There will be a Rotary BBQ, beer tent, arts and crafts for the little ones plus various other activities for kids.

There will also be live music, creating the perfect atmosphere for a day of fun and excitement along Huntsville’s waterfront.

Join us for a pancake breakfast at River Mill Park beginning at 8 a.m. The parade of specially decorated bathtubs will begin making its way down the Main Street at 11 a.m.

The first of three heats begins at noon with bathtubs furiously racing through obstacles on the Muskoka River as they make their way to the finish line.

Back by popular demand, we are very excited to be resuming the media race to showcase our media partners who are so supportive of our club's mission.

In 2013 the Rotary Club of Huntsville resurrected the original Bathtub Derby from the 1990’s under the name Rotary DockFest. Thousands of people attended the event in 2013 and a decision was made to turn Rotary DockFest into an annual event with proceeds alternating between local charities each year.

Funds raised this year will go to support two fantastic organizations - Huntsville Hospice and Fairvern Nursing Home - we are thrilled to see the benefit to our community that this event will provide!
