This Labor Day, join us on the Arkansas River for a day of fun and excitement on the water. Build your own raft and take on the challenge of the new white water flumes at The Gathering Place. This year, the raft race is part of a wider celebration - the Big Dam Party. Over Labor Day weekend, we'll be commemorating the opening of the pedestrian bridge connecting West Tulsa to the east side of the river, as well as the restoration of the low water dams.
This is the traditional raft race format. Whether you're racing against the clock or just here for a leisurely float, this option ends at West Festival Park.
Feeling a bit more adventurous? Build a raft specifically for our new white water flumes and finish your journey at The Gathering Place.
Can't decide? Why not have the best of both worlds! Start with the classic route but end your journey by taking on the white water flumes for an exhilarating finish.
On Labor Day, join us by the Arkansas River and become part of the action! Experience the thrilling raft race and cheer for your favorite teams. This event isn't only for participants - it's also a spectacular show for spectators. In the past, the Great Raft Race set a record for the largest spectator audience in state history. Don't miss out on being part of this historic event. Come, enjoy the atmosphere, and make this Labor Day unforgettable!
