Aquapalooza this weekend?

CrownRay · 07-22-2013, 08:26 AM

Just want to make sure...Aquapalooza is this weekend at Margate, right? How do they do the show? I was at the one in Boston this weekend. It was a madhouse! Never seen so many boats all together. The stage was a large boat. Weather moved in, so I did not get to see it all.

OMG, sure glad I read this, don't what to be anywhere near it,,,

Its just not my kind of event. I will happily find a quiet sandbar and just float to the sounds of engines and water slapping against the hulls.

For those who do go, enjoy, and many thanks for the heads-up.

Last year they set the stage up onshore on the Margate property.
Irwin runs shuttle boats back and forth to the shore.

BTW: there is one in Hyannis Mass. the next weekend.

Aquapalooza this year was fantastic. The weather held out and even with a little cloud cover occasionally blowing through it didn't dampen anyone's spirits.
This gathering of boaters on our lake organized and sponsored by Irwin Marine showcases the ultimate in business good will. The sheer size of the participation in this event by owners of all brands of boats is a testament to the far reaching POSITIVE effect the Irwin Family has on our lake community. They always have been and continue to be a class act and more marina operations should take lessons from them about how to treat their customers. To Jack, Billy, John, Bruce, Carol and ALL the Irwin staff I want to say thank you for ALL you do to make our boating experience top notch!

The Breeze
Wave 'cuz I'll be wavin' back😎

I couldn't agree more...they did a very nice job and the weather ended up cooperating.

they definitely do a great job as I have watched from ashore right beside it, it is a great time, I will say though having it on a Sunday in July did not do it any justice, as the crowd appeared to be about Half of what it normally is
but non the less still a great take~!
