2023 57th Annual Columbia Cup Hydroplane Races On The Columbia River & Water Follies in Kennewick's Tri-Cities WA

The 2023 57th Annual Columbia Cup Hydroplane Races On The Columbia River & Water Follies July 28-30, 2023 in Kennewick's Tri-Cities WA

About the Annual Columbia Cup Hydroplane Races On The Columbia River | Water Follies 
The 2023 HAPO Columbia Cup will mark the 57th time Unlimited Hydroplanes have raced on the Columbia River. This year’s event, like the inaugural in 1966, will most likely have 12 Unlimiteds in attendance.

From the 2020 Cuisine de Vin Website:
