Get ready for one of Australia’s most thrilling waterfront events, the Yarrawonga Powerboat Spectacular! Held annually during the month of April, this high-octane festival combines world-class powerboat racing with a full-scale family-friendly fair, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Mulwala.
At the heart of the action is the E.C. Griffith Cup, the Southern Hemisphere’s most prestigious powerboat race. Watch as Grand Prix Hydroplanes tear across the water at speeds over 280 km/h in a spectacular display of power and precision.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Onshore, the fairground comes to life with:
Carnival rides & kids’ entertainment, fun for all ages including face painting, amusements, and sideshow alley
Food trucks & bars, offering delicious eats, drinks, and local specialties
Merch vendors & displays, from racing memorabilia to handmade goods
Live music & entertainment, creating a festive, family-friendly vibe all weekend long
Whether you're a motorsport fan, thrill-seeker, or looking for a weekend of fun by the lake, the Yarrawonga Powerboat Spectacular is an unforgettable experience.
