A festival attracting 20,000 visitors each year is back in Lake Guntersville during the last weekend of June. The annual Lake Guntersville Hydrofest is set to take place June 29 and 30, with a kickoff street party on the 28. The Hydrofest boasts four types of boat races: the H1 Unlimited, Grand Prix, Stock Outboards, and Vintage Unlimited.

One of the world’s fastest boat races in the world is this month at Lake Guntersville. The annual Guntersville Lake Hydrofest is next Friday and Saturday (June 23-24) along Sunset Drive near the Guntersville Recreation Center.
