Now in its 57th year, this legendary North Coast tradition returns Memorial Day Weekend for three days of gloriously unhinged human-powered sculpture racing across 50+ miles of beaches, roads, & waterways, from Arcata to Ferndale. More than a race, the Kinetic Grand Championship is a multigenerational family gathering where old friends reconnect, newcomers find their people, and everyone shares in the creativity, engineering, and pure eccentricity that has defined this event since 1969. Whether you're piloting a kinetic sculpture through Humboldt Bay, cheering from the sidelines, or volunteering your weekend to keep the chaos beautifully organized, you're part of the family.
