The 2019 Detroit Hydrofest took place on the Detroit River this past weekend, featuring boat racing, a Hot Rod show, and live music. Adrenaline junkies flocked to the riverfront to watch some of the fastest boats in the world, some reaching 160 mph! People of all ages visited the festival, cheering as the boats come roaring by, kicking water up 60 feet high and 300 feet long.
Re-live the excitement of the Detroit Hydrofest in these snaps from local attendees!
