A Race to Save Great Salt Lake

After a phenomenal collaboration last year, the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club and Grow the Flow are once again hosting Sailfest on June 7th. This free, day-long festival will include live music, booths, and a sailboat regatta to bring attention and resources to the race to restore Great Salt Lake.

This event is appropriate for all ages, and we hope you invite your friends, family, and frenemies!

When: June 7th, 2025, 10am-4pm (main activities from 12-4pm)

Where: The Marina at Great Salt Lake

What: A sailboat race and festival featuring free fun for all ages

NOTE: Because parking at the State Park will be limited, Sailfest Guests are asked to park at Saltair down the road from the State Park and utilize our free shuttle that will be running every 15-20 minutes throughout the day.

Goals of the Event

Bring people to the shores of the Great Salt Lake – What better way to raise awareness than to show people the actual, physical state of the Great Salt Lake?

Foster unity among different groups of Utahns – Bringing people together in the same space will raise morale in the state and enrich relationships.

Raise money for the Great Salt Lake – Money raised will go directly to aiding Great Salt Lake’s rescue.

Fun! – We want families from all over Utah to gather at the lake, watch the race, and have fun. We are also bringing in a variety of vendors to add to the festivities, including food trucks, a band, giveaways–there will even be a cardboard boat race for any attendees!
