Idaho Regatta

The Idaho Regatta is a self-funding not-for-profit community event held the last full weekend in June. The Idaho Regatta Committee works year round to make this event an exciting and unforgettable experience. This event features some of the fastest flat bottom boats in the world. Some 75 boats enter the event each year which includes drag boats that follow a circular course at top speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour. Racing teams can expect beautiful weather, excellent water conditions, and homegrown hospitality. Race fans can expect 3 days of fun in the sun while meeting racers face-to-face and socializing with friends - not to mention some of the most intense competition on the APBA racing circuit.
