✔️📝 It's wet, it's wild, it's bathtub racing in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas! 🛀

💦 Each year in Hot Springs, we honor our bathing history with the World Championship Running of the Tubs on Historic Bathhouse Row! Costumed teams push bathtubs on wheels down the street as spectators (armed with water blasters) spray them as they race by. Unlike a typical competition, this bathtub race features a lineup of judges that openly accept bribes. 😉

Join in the fun of this free, family friendly, truly Hot Springs event on Saturday, June 6. 2026 at 9AM. 🫧 Don't miss the Judging of the Tubs the evening before on Friday, June 5 at 6PM, where you can get a first-hand look at the bribery and each team's tub in Hill Wheatley Plaza! It's the cleanest fun around and a must on your Hot Springs Bucketlist.
