Race director Gene Kininmonth says the annual rowing regatta continues to grow and attract world wide interest.

"We expect over 1,000 rowers and several thousand spectators at this year's rowing championships. The addition of Paris Olympians racing Team USA has drawn increased interest," said Kininmonth.

With key corporate support coming from Bethany Medical and the Lenny Peters Foundation, the sport of rowing has taken off in High Point. “Festival Park is one of a kind for hosting water sports events,” says Kininmonth. “We also have the best volunteer support team in the country.”

In addition to the rowing, there will be food trucks and a beer garden called the Duck Bar with $2 beers for locals. There will also be a free Best in Show Dog competition. Bring your friendly dog on a leash."
