One of the County’s more fun and unique events will go down this weekend in the small town of Kingston. The 11th Annual Kingston Kardboard Boat Regatta will be the finale to Kingston Fest which takes place this Saturday, July 18th, 2015 at the Kingston Township Park from 11am until 3pm. Kingston Fest will feature kiddy games, rides, craft, food and other vendors in the park, as well as the Kingston Fest 5K .
Boats should try to arrive before 11am as the vehicle access road will be blocked off once the fest begins.
The regatta will begin at 3:30pm at the Kingston Beach in the park. Prizes will be given for Pirates of Pizazz (crew with the most spirit); Titanic (boat with the most spectacular sinking); Fleet-of-the-Fleet (fastest boat to complete the race); Kishwaukee Ferry (most crew in a boat); and Head-to-Head (first boat to cross the finish line in head-to-head race). Trophies will be awarded with additional cash prizes going to some winners. Kingston Park is located near 5 Points Rd. and Rt. 72 in Kingston.
