The 25th annual Moraine State Park Regatta makes a splash Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4, on the shore of Lake Arthur at Moraine State Park.

Festivities begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, with the Moraine Regatta 5K on the Sunken Garden Trail, and the event ends with the Buttlerfly Breeze Yoga for Kids with Valley Om Yoga Studio at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4.

Started in 1998, the Moraine State Park Regatta “aims to showcase eco-recreational activities for all ages and to promote Moraine State Park,” according to the event’s official website. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regatta was canceled in 2020 and is celebrating its 25th event this year.

“We started very small, I can’t remember what the first event was. Just a few food and craft vendors on the north shore, and 10 years after that we moved to the south shore,” regatta exhibit vendor coordinator Sam Barill said.
