Ideas for your weekend:
Arrive Friday evening in St. Joseph, Michigan. Settle in, reconnect, and raise a glass to the start of an exciting weekend.
Saturday – Relax, Explore, Celebrate
Ease into the day with brunch, browse the local farmers market, soak up the sun at the pool, or enjoy the beautiful SJRYC grounds. The boaters will raft off at the yacht club and on the wall adjacent to the farmers market and downtown St. Joe. Get a chance to network with boaters from around the lake.
That evening, join us for a memorable Awards Dinner as we celebrate the day’s stories and achievements. The party is on after the awards with the WYSIWYG Band!
Sunday – Race & Rally
Racers take off toward Chicago or Michigan City, while drivers enjoy scenic brunch stops through Harbor Country, arriving in Michigan City by evening.
We’ll cap off the day with a lively dinner, party and live music at the Michigan City Yacht Club — a perfect blend of land and sea.
Monday – Farewell Cruise
The weekend wraps up as racers return to Chicago, full of memories from a weekend of great sailing, great company, and unbeatable lakefront energy. Pot luck supper at the club.
Whether you’re racing, spectating, or simply along for the ride — Tri-State Race Weekend is the place to be.
We can’t wait to see you there.
