The Harvard-Yale Regatta, or Yale-Harvard Regatta (depending on your allegiance), is a historic intercollegiate sporting event (the oldest in the country). Teams of rowers race down the Thames River, ending in Gales Ferry. 2026 marks the 159th running of the event, and 174 years since its inaugural year!

The races begin at 1:15PM and will be live-streamed at the Festival! You can learn more about the Regatta's history here!
