Thru The Chute Boat Race
Thru the Chute is one of New Braunfels’ quirkiest and most fun-filled traditions! Held at the City Tube Chute on the Comal River, this wacky event challenges teams to build boats out of nothing but cardboard and duct tape—then ride them thru the chute! Creativity, engineering (and a good sense of humor) are all put to the test as boats race, float… or hilariously sink. With prizes for speed, design, and the most epic fails, it’s a splash-tastic day full of laughs, cheers, and unforgettable river fun!
