Get ready, Laidley – Lockyer Powerfest is back in 2026! From the 27th to the 28th of June, Lake Dyer will come alive with the thunder of engines, the cheers of the crowd, and the unmistakable buzz of an event that’s truly next level. 

These aren’t just any boats; they boast up to 2500 horsepower and can rocket from zero to 255 kilometres per hour in under five seconds. It’s wild, it’s loud, and it’s completely unforgettable. With practice laps, qualifying heats and final championship races, there’s plenty to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Powerfest is more than just a motorsport spectacle. It’s a full weekend celebration where families, thrill-seekers and lovers of a good day out come together for fun, food, and community vibes. Between races, enjoy delicious food truck eats and a cold beverage from the bar. Roll out a picnic rug on the grassy banks, soak up the sunshine, and settle in for a weekend of memories.
