Picking Paisley to headline this wet ‘n wild extravaganza is a natural. AquaPalooza is promoted by Sea Ray Boats, which is also one the sponsors for Paisley’s H2O tour. Along with sponsor Skinny Water, Sea Ray Boats is turning every Paisley stop into a water festival and is helping to present up-and-coming country artists on the “Water World Plaza Stage.”

Admission to AquaPalooza is free, but you will need a boat, a friend who has a boat or someone nice enough to loan you their craft for the day. Of course, you can always rent a boat at the lake, but with thousands of Paisley fans descending on AquaPalooza, there’s no guarantee there will be enough rentals to go around. The Reserve at Lake Travis is a new waterfront resort at Mile Marker 22, located between the Pace Bend and Point Venture areas.

“AquaPalooza has become synonymous with great music and great times on the water,” Sea Ray VP of marketing Rob Noyes said. “We’re very excited to have a performer of Brad Paisley’s caliber headlining this year’s Signature Event. This is a free event where your boat is your ticket; there will be no land access to the Signature Event.”
