Lackawanna River Regatta
The term “regatta” has been applied to any showy contest or parade of ships or boats in which prizes are offered for competition. It is in this spirit of joy and competition that the Lackawanna River Conservation Association (LRCA) is proud to announce the Lackawanna River Regatta.
The Regatta will be conducted by the LRCA as part of the finish line festivities on September 25th at RiverFest 2021.
Please view the two Regatta documents below.
