Water Follies Board of Directors Votes to Cancel 55th Annual Columbia Cup
Tri-Cities would move through the phases described in the Safe Start Washington plan, and there could be an event in September.

We are looking into a potential “drive-in” air show for 2020, and we working with the Benton Franklin Health Department on the requirements to make that happen,” says Kathy Powell, event director.
As always, Tri-City Water Follies would like to thank all of our fans, volunteers, sponsors, partners, teams, and vendors for their support and flexibility during this difficult time. We look forward to being back and better than ever in 2021!
