There will be a Food Vendor at the race. Anyone who wishes may bring money to purchase food from the vendor.

All spectators are asked to park in the large parking lot for Qualitrol Company, LLC, next door to the Fairport Crew Club boathouse at 1385 Fairport Road (Route 31F), Fairport, New York. Almost the entire parking lot is available, and is only a short walk (0.1 mile) on the same side of the street to the boathouse. The entrance is 700 feet east of the intersection of O'Connor Road and Fairport Road. Please follow signs for the regatta parking so we don't use spaces needed by Qualitrol employees.

Although the lower lot at Perinton Park (listed as 'Spectator Parking' in the photograph, below) is available, we ask that you NOT park in that lot. Crossing Route 31F at that location is risky, so if you do park in that lot, proceed east toward the canal and walk to the boathouse on the canal path from Perinton Park instead of crossing Route 31F. For handicapped parking, only, use the upper parking lot at Perinton Park, and walk, or use your wheel chair, on the towpath to get to the boathouse (a relatively level pathway). PLEASE NOTE: O'Connor Road has moved and is now directly opposite Jefferson Avenue near the Mobil station on Route 31F.
