About Wakefest Tennessee
WakeFest is a community outreach event designed to promote the sport of wakeboarding. It has grown so much over the years, and we look forward to watching all the riders compete. The event will be held on Center Hill Lake with home base Pates Ford Marina. The tournament is for spectators as well as riders and their families.
This is an on-water tournament, so you must have transportation to the tournament site.
In 2012, Wakefest re-located to Pates Ford Marina at Center Hill Lake in order to expand and attract and even larger group of riders and spectators. The re-location was a success with over 75 riders and 2000 spectators making it one of the largest grassroots tournaments in the Southeast.
In 2023 we have changed the tournament to the Friday and Saturday format and we had such a bigger turnout than Sunday. So we will continue the Friday and Saturday format.
