Tri City Water Follies

It was alot of fun. We were at a private box on the river. They also had a modest airshow and a classic hydo's also. This was a first for me, I had fun.

I've been fortunate enough to have enjoyed these races almost every year since I've been a young boy. It's a well organized event with plenty to do for all ages. The wild party it once was has become a family friendly affair. Sunshine, a beautiful river, friendly people, an air show and H1 Unlimited Hydroplanes. I can't think of another place I'd rather be every year on the last weekend of July. If you haven't been, go!

Very disappointed in this event. Arrived just before 8am. Was directed to park on the far east side of the park (with a handicap person) for best access. Went to a gate that was close to find we had to go to ticket booth farther to the east. A security guard let several groups of us through an opening to get tickets. Once we wait, get tickets then head back to the opening and met with the rudest female security guard ever. She would not let us through had to go around. Well now we are on the side of the fence where we should have been checked for contraband and tickets, but none of this had happened. Make to back to the parking lot hand out wristbands, go through security to find out that we have been parked on the reserved tent section. So we have to make our way around to GM. It took about an hour to get to a spot because of my disabled partner. I sent several hours talking to different people and no one knew where the people in charge were. Best thing I got was look for red shirts in golf carts. Talked to a few carts but they said they were just venders, volunteers, or cops. The pre air show was great, and the boat race was to be expected. I have not been to this event since the pandemic but probably will never come back or recommend this to others, it truly is going down hill.

LOVE love love this event!! Love to go and make a little pic nic with my son. As a suggestion why don't put more shade areas in Kennewick side It would be worth the $25 pay for adults

Water Follies is always fun. It more family friendly than it used to be.

Such a fun event for everyone! If you haven’t been before, make sure to put Water Follies on your calendar for this year! My family is looking forward to this year again! We are hoping that our family owned local small business gets the opportunity to be a part of the event this year offering helicopter rides to the community and other guests!

Best weekend to spend every July. Watch for dates to be pisted
