What’s the River Raft Regatta? It’s this awesome race where a bunch of floaty things race down the Little Pigeon River. You don’t even have to ride them – they float by themselves! You can use a rubber duck or make your own super cool boat to enter into the race.

Here’s How It Works:

1. Register Your Floaty: Be at the starting line at the former Christ in the Smokies Museum at 11 a.m. to sign up your floatable.
2. Race Time: The race starts at 1 p.m. and goes until all the floaties cross the finish line at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.

How to Join the Fun:

• You can rent a rubber duck for $2 or get three for $5 right there. Or, if you have your own floaty creation, bring it for free!
• All the money we raise goes to the Gatlinburg Chamber Foundation, which is awesome because it helps out our community.

Win Cool Prizes: There are trophies for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in the Treasure, Duck, and Most Creative Float categories. Imagine winning a trophy for your super cool floaty!

Why You Should Come: It’s part of the big Fourth of July celebration in Gatlinburg, so there will be fireworks, fun, and lots of people cheering. Plus, it’s a great way to spend time with family and friends and meet new people.

Join Our Community: If you love cool events like this, make sure your family joins Lovin’ Life in the Smokies. You’ll get all the updates about fun stuff happening in the Smoky Mountains.

So, get ready to have a ton of fun and make awesome memories at Gatlinburg’s River Raft Regatta! I can’t wait to see everyone there and cheer on all the cool floaties!

See you on the river!
