Preparations for the 2nd annual Sheboygan Powerboat Midwest Challenge have been underway since last year’s inaugural event, and come to a crescendo this weekend. The event, produced by Powerboat P1, takes place this coming Friday through Sunday, and organizers promise exhilarating powerboat racing off of Sheboygan’s Lake Michigan shoreline, accompanied by food, drinks, music and fun throughout. Festivities begin Friday with a downtown block party at Sheboygan’s City Green from 6-10 p.m., when attendees can stroll past many of the powerboats that will be competing, while enjoying live music, food and refreshments.
On Saturday, the Sheboygan Yacht Club is inviting race fans and teams to a brat fry from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. while powerboat racing takes place between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Sunday’s opening ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with a flyover by the US Air Force Aerial Events Team. Races will continue non-stop until 3 p.m., and results will be announced during a ceremony beginning in the VIP area at 5 p.m., best viewed from the lakefront at the end of South Pier Drive, according to organizers.
