Lake of the Ozarks Shootout 2026

Aug 28 - 30 2026
The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is a top-speed competition held on the Grand Glaize Arm, with the course running past Dog Days Bar & Grill. Boats compete individually for the “Top Gun” title by recording their fastest speeds on a 3/4-mile straightaway.

The event is the centerpiece of a week-long schedule that includes a massive street party on the Bagnell Dam Strip and the Poly Lift Poker Run. Visitors can explore Lake of the Ozarks State Park for hiking and public beaches or visit the nearby shops and restaurants in Osage Beach.
