There will be wild action at Harborfest 2025 as a new water ski action show comes to the festival.
The Ski Extreme Productions show includes six talented performers on water skis, a jet ski and strapped in a jet pack to provide thrills on and above the water off the Oswego festival's main ground at Breitbeck Park. The show takes place three times daily Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26.
The show will feature barefoot waterskiing with speeds up to 40 miles per hour, Sky Ski – a hydrofoil device launching the performer six feet above the water, freestyle waterskiers being launched into the air from a ramp, high-horsepower freestyle jetski flips and spins, a performer flying 70 feet in the air on a water jetpack, a human pyramid of skiers and more.
"We have wanted to bring a water sports show back to Harborfest and have finally found a show that we think our fans will love. I'm in awe of the crazy stunts these performers can pull off and we're very excited to bring them here," said Dan Harrington, Harborfest Executive Director
"My goal is to show people around the world the wonders of extreme water stunts and the entertainment value it provides," said the show's founder, Robby Allen.
The Ski Extreme team is filled with professional water skiers, jet skiers and stunt performers who have performed around the world Including at Universal Studios, Disney, Sea World, LegoLand, Six Flags and many more. Ski Extreme also produces the water portion of the Milwaukee Air and Water show.
