2026 Beach Famous Bathtub Races at Bamboo Willies
The Pensacola Beach Bathtub Races are a beloved local tradition that dates back to the early 1980s. Originally started as a quirky, community-driven event, the races have grown into a signature celebration held annually on Labor Day weekend behind Bamboo Willie's Beachside Bar on Santa Rosa Sound.
Importantly, the Bathtub Races have served charitable purpose, raising money for Pensacola Beach Elementary School and other local causes.
Teams can register in person at Bamboo Willies or online at bamboowillies.com. There is a $30 registration fee.
