- **Event Description**: Float Your Boat... If You Can!

Take part in a lively cardboard boat race competition where teams build, and race human-powered vessels made solely from cardboard and duct tape.

Feb 28 2026, 11 am
Boat Building begins at 12 p.m. with 1.5 hours to make ship shape and water tight.
First Race begins at 1:45 p.m.

Abrams Indoor Pool
62nd Street BLDG 23001
+1 (254)287-8219

Open To All
All ages. Children under 16 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

The challenge blends creative design, basic engineering, and waterproofing skills, as teams attempt to construct boats that can actually float and traverse to the other side of the pool. The event is a hilarious spectacle, featuring a team introduction “Parade of Boats” with elaborate themes before the race begins.

Family will race against other families and units will race against other units. While a few boats race for the fastest time, the greatest crowd excitement is reserved for the inevitable, spectacular sinkers.

Ultimately, it's a celebration of community, teamwork, and good-humored failure, proving that anything can float—at least for a little while.

Teams will bring their own flat boxes and duct tape.
