Portugal’s Wackiest Regatta: Bathtub Regatta on the Sado River

Get ready for one of the wildest and most unique festivals in Portugal! Brent travels to Setúbal to witness the Banheiras e Insólitos Regatta — also known as the Bathtub Regatta of the Sado River. 🛁🚤

In this hilarious and unforgettable event, locals build homemade boats out of bathtubs and creative materials. Some sink, some capsize, and a few manage to race all the way to the finish line! It’s chaotic, fun, and a true celebration of Portuguese culture and community.

🌍 If you love travel adventures, offbeat festivals, and crazy competitions, this is a must-watch.
