Marble Falls LakeFest

The Marble Falls LakeFest drag boat races were on Lake Marble Falls for its 26th year Aug. 11-13, 2017.
Qualifying was Friday, Aug. 11, with racing on Saturday Aug. 12 and finals running Sunday, Aug. 13.

A free 'Show-n-Shine' event was Friday night in Johnson Park, where spectators could meet the drivers and see the boats up close. Some of the teams fire up their engines so you can feel the horsepower that propels some boats to speeds over 260 mph! View a photo album to relive the weekend on our Facebook Page.

View racing results from Lucas Oil by viewing the race ladder.

Thinking about coming next year? LakeFest is usually the second weekend of August. View this helpful list of "Frequently Asked Questions" from 2017. We'll update the page when the 2018 schedule is released. Until then, compare area accommodations HERE.
