Hootenanny Spring Kickoff
Saturday, March 21st
Winter is so last season.
Montgomery Whitewater is ready to kick off Spring the only way we know how: racing pool floats down the competition channel! It’s year three, and Lucky Ducky deserved a glow-up. Say hello to the “Hootenanny Float Race.” Same concept. More high jinks.
Join us for a day of races, live music, and good ole-fashioned mayhem. Whether you are racing downstream in an inflatable flamingo or want to witness the pandemonium, the Hootenanny is a celebration with something for everyone.
Come for the spectacle. Stay for the good time.
