July 22, 2-5 pm

The Wenonga Days Milk Carton Boat Races offer a memorable day for participants and spectators alike. Children and adults will race and show off their handmade boats that float only by means of recycled milk cartons and jugs. Don’t worry if you can’t save enough milk jugs.  Art of the Lakes will have extra milk jugs that you can start picking up starting May 5th behind Art of the Lakes Gallery or at the recycling center in Fergus Falls. 

Join us for a day of family-friendly entertainment and some spirited competition. Check-in is from 1:30-2:30 pm and races begin at 3 pm. This is a FREE event for the participants and spectators. We invite you to come and enjoy the fun and don’t forget to vote for the People’s Choice Award!!

Racing takes place on Battle Lake with race headquarters at Lion's Park.
