7:00 PM - 8:30 PM - Five Seasons Ski Team at Ellis Park

The club was formed in 1978 for the purpose of advancing the sport of waterskiing. This includes individual skiing, team skills such as show skiing, recreational skiing, and general safety principles. Recreational and beginning skiers have the opportunity to learn all facets of waterskiing from the basics to tournament events and barefoot skiing.

The Five Seasons Ski Team performs a show every Thursday night at Ellis Park in Cedar Rapids, IA June thru Labor Day, as well as a few special shows during the week of the 4th! The team also competes in state, regional, and national show ski tournaments. The team strives to provide quality family entertainment for the Cedar Rapids area. We also provide a wholesome, fun, activity for area youth and families.​

Join us for multiple evenings throughout our 2024 festival to enjoy all that the Five Seasons Ski Team has to offer!
