With more than 4,000 participants on 200 teams typically competing in this special event. It's an enjoyable and exciting way to experience the thrill of these boats.
What began in 2000 has since grown into a large-scale event where teams compete for supremacy on the waters. Watch in awe as these powerful teams of 13 to 18 people work together in unison to make their way to victory.
The event is free and easy to watch for anyone visiting the area. If you're lucky, you might even be able to try your strength at rowing with the post-show exhibitions.
