Embrace the glorious absurdity of the Port Townsend Kinetic Sculpture Race, a two-day spectacle of human-powered art and engineering. Watch as imaginative, pilot-pedaled contraptions navigate a grueling course through the streets, into the salt water of Port Townsend Bay, and across the notorious mud pits. More than just a race, this quirky tradition features a colorful parade, elaborate costumes, and a healthy dose of silliness where the most coveted prize isn’t for finishing first, but for being perfectly mediocre.
