2026 World Jet Boat Championship at the Roadhouse at the Mill

GARDEN CITY, ID—The World Jet Boat Championship is coming to the Boise area in 2026, and the Roadhouse at the Mill will serve as its home base.

The event brings together top jet boat competitors racing on the Boise River, with the Roadhouse's location along the water making it a natural fit for spectators and competitors alike. Specific race dates and registration details have not yet been announced.

For the uninitiated, jet boat racing involves purpose-built watercraft that can hit speeds well above what most people would consider reasonable on a river that also hosts inflatable ducks in July.

Garden City has quietly become one of the more interesting stretches of riverfront in the Treasure Valley, and apparently the world noticed.
