RIVERFEST REGATTA: July 15, 2023

Our 2-day Riverfest at beautiful Simard-Payne Park in Lewiston, Maine is back! Food trucks, live music, craft beers, local artisans, activities for the kids, and plenty of room for families and pets to enjoy the great outdoors. Check out the full Riverfest Schedule.

This fun, relaxed 1500-meter stake course is great for Masters and Juniors of all ages and abilities, and offers some of the best spectating around. What other regatta lets you watch the start, the hairpin turn, and the finish from a single location on a historic walking bridge? Races start at 8:00 AM.

New to Rowing? Been rowing for a while but never raced? Organizing "Learn to Row" classes this summer and looking for a capstone event? This is the perfect regatta for you and your friends - we'll help you tape on your first bow number and get you onto the course in style.

We're welcoming singles, doubles, pairs, quads and fours. No trailer? We have some Vespoli fours to lend. For more information, email lewistonrowing@gmail.com

We are using Regatta Central to manage our entries this year. If you have a Regatta Central account, log in and go to the Riverfest Regatta Registration page.
