First Gakit Festival

Posted by Steven Egay

For Gigaquit Civic Club
January 13, 2009

Finally, the First Gakit Festival will be held on January 25, 2009 spearheaded by the Gigaquit Tourism Council with the support of the Gigaquit Civic Club (GCC). This project was conceptualized by GCC sometime in early 2008.

Gakit means raft and from this word Gigaquit got its name (to review history click here).

Gakit Festival will involve teams of players who will create their own rafts and race from Baoy to Doot Bridge. There will be awards also for fastest boat builder and most colorful raft. Final mechanics of the event is taken cared of by the Gigaquit Tourism Council.
