Aquapalooza is a Sea Ray sponsored event amongst others including GM, Sony, Sebago, Ray Marine, Mercruiser, Boating (the magazine) and others including local businesses like radio stations and restaraunts. All boaters are welcome to attend the event. You do not have to register to attend but you can and get a goodie bag filled with more useless stuff.
Our event in Northern Virginia on the Potomac (Fairview Beach) is one of the best attended events they have. We had well over 1000 boats this year. There are fireworks, bands playing and lots and lots of boats and people. Most who attend are not on Sea Rays at all in our area.
http://www.aquapalooza.com I would venture to say it is one of our most anticipated weekends each season and this was our third one!
The ad you may have seen in many of the boating publications depicting Aquapalooza is from our event in VA last year. You can see how large a turnout this event brings out!
Don't be intimidated by Sea Ray owners, this is an event for everyone!
