JULY 19-20, 2025: da Vinci Days is proud to present the 2025 GRAAND KINETIC CHALLENGE! Join us as human-powered, pedal-pushed, all-terrain, kinetic art sculpture vehicles race over land, sand, mud, and water in our 32nd annual FUNtastical 2-day event! This year’s theme—“The Roaring 2020s”—blends the jazz-age spirit of the 1920s with the wild innovations through the 2020s. Come witness kinetic contraptions zipping, zooming, and zazzling through the Corvallis course.
