OCTOBER 4-6 • Oklahoma River
15th Anniversary
The 2019 Oklahoma Regatta Festival will celebrate its 15th Anniversary when racing takes place Oct. 4-6 in the Boathouse District, downtown on the Oklahoma River. The three-day celebration of rowing, kayaking, dragon boating, whitewater rafting and family fun includes the Oklahoma City University Head of the Oklahoma race, OGE NightSprints, and a family festival featuring food trucks, fireworks, beer gardens, a front row seat for all the racing – and RIVERSPORT Adventures!
The annual OCU Head of the Oklahoma includes 2.5 mile head racing during the day featuring teams from across the country competing in collegiate, masters, and junior rowing as well as kayak and dragon boat racing.
During the Oklahoma Regatta Festival, the 500-meter OGE NightSprints are held on the river after the sun goes down, creating an electrifying atmosphere for competitors and spectators alike.
The 2019 Oklahoma Regatta Festival will feature a special announcement by the Outdoor Foundation on Friday evening, October 4, followed by the OKC Thrive Outside Expo on Saturday, October 5, 12-4p. Local & national organizations will showcase hands-on experiences for families to learn about outdoor opportunities. The event is free and open to all ages!
Join us for a special preview night of RIVERSCREAM Zombie ZTag 2.0 on October 5, 8-11p. Maneuver through obstacles on all six stories of the SandRidge Sky Trail and avoid the zombies at all costs!
