Boats, bands and bikini-clad women will help kick off Powerfest Thursday on Pine Avenue July 9.

The second annual event along Pine between Broadway and Fourth Street launches this weekend's Powerfest Boat Races from Long Beach to Catalina.

Two giant pools will be built in the middle of Pine Avenue, where riders will perform mid-air stunts for round one of the Wakeboard Rail Jam Stunt Show starting at 6 p.m.

At 7 p.m. at the main stage, a dozen women will strut their stuff for the Miss Powerfest Bikini Contest.

And at 7:30 p.m., LBC will perform their tribute to Sublime. A second Wakeboard Rail Jam show will close out the evening.

Throughout the event, fans can check out the two monster trucks and several race boats and watercraft that are on display and meet and get autographs from racers. Also, Red Bull DJ Judd Nester will mix it up.

The Downtown Long Beach Associates-hosted event is free. Visit www.downtownlongbeach.org or call 562-436-4259 for more.
