Bass tourney, off-road racing, PWC racing
LAKE HAVASU CITY – In March, Lake Havasu City spring breakers seldom stray beyond the heart of spring break at the Bridgewater Channel, leaving the rest of the city wide open for exciting special events under sunny skies.
“Spring’s ideal weather and fun-loaded special events calendar are big draws for families and visitors beyond college age. Car shows, off-road and personal watercraft (PWC) competitions, bass tournaments, and even scooter competitions are just a few of the special events held this March,” says Terence Concannon, president and CEO of Go Lake Havasu.
