Blue & Burgundy Youth Regatta
- Hosted By: Great Miami Rowing Center
- 2016 Registered Regatta
NEW TO OUR 2012 REGATTA SERIES
The River, Regattas, and Rowing
Watch the racing from the comforts of an indoor space while learning about the way our river shaped our community. Local historians will be presenting a lecture series in preparations for next year’s 100th anniversary of the 1913 flood. Come join our area seniors from Colonial communities and our sponsors for our lecture series scheduled each regatta day in the Vista Room and riverside pavilion of the Fitton Center. Watch the racing live while learning about the way our river shaped our community. Make history come alive by betting river stones on the races taking shape before you.
High Profile Vendor Location
The best viewing will take place on the Main High Bridge’s broad sidewalks. Our volunteer regatta committee has been hard at work identifying a high profile vendor location near the bridge that provides the best place for spectating and will be hub of activity on regatta day.
Expanded Venue
We’ve grown out of our digs on the west side of the river so we will be staging on both sides. Team rowing equipment and the dock will stay on the west bank, while the busy team tents will move to the RiversEdge site and Courtyard by Marriott patio on the east side. This puts the vendors near bridge right in the middle of the action.
Geocaching
Come join the latest is letterboxing. It’s a digital treasure hunt. GMRC places a collection of new caches within in walking distance of our regatta venue. Find them and cache in!
Historic Walking Tours
Stop by the regatta site or the Hamilton welcome center for maps and directions to two nearby walking tours. Take a Ghost Tour of Dayton Lane or German Village on the east side of the river. Take in the stunning Stick/Eastlake and Federal architectures of the homes in Rossvile’s Historic District on the west side.
