These state-of-the-art machines—capable of reaching speeds up to 120 mph—battle deck-to-deck in intense, sponson-banging showdowns that leave fans breathless and communities buzzing.
This is not just a festival—it’s a full-blown celebration of speed, music, and community, with Formula 1 Powerboat Championship racing
Back and better than ever, RiverFest will host five days of high-octane fun for the entire family, featuring a packed schedule of concerts, food vendors, carnival rides, arts and crafts, a car show, and culminating with the ultimate crowd favorite—Formula 1 Powerboat racing May 2-4.
This is not just a festival—it’s a full-blown celebration of speed, music, and community, with Formula 1 Powerboat Championship racing once again front and center as the weekend’s most thrilling attraction. From the fan-favorite Tri-Hull chaos to the razor-sharp turns of the F-Light series, and the 120+ mph action of the elite Formula 1 boats, this is water racing at its most intense. The best viewing spots? Right in the park—racecourse seating puts you in the heart of the action.
“The RiverFest is the kind of event that brings out the best in everything we do,” says Tim Seebold, Managing Director of the Formula 1 Powerboat Championship. “The park’s packed, the boats are flying, and the whole city shows up to celebrate. We’re proud to make Port Neches one of our marquee events—it’s pure energy from start to finish.”
Gates open at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The festivities swing back into gear on Saturday and Sunday at 8:30.
The action on the water kicks off with pit setup on Thursday, May 1, followed by test sessions on Friday. Saturday and Sunday will feature a full slate of racing complete with final heats and an awards ceremony to celebrate the weekend’s top performers.
