America's Fall Rowing Festival is almost upon us! What better way to ring in rowing's biggest holiday than by catching up with your friends and family over a drink on the banks of the Charles? Drinks! by the Charles, a new Saturday evening cocktail party hosted by the Head Of The Charles offers the perfect opportunity to grab a drink with classmates, teammates, friends, and family. After the stellar success of the Regatta Gala in 2014, the HOCR is excited to continue this new tradition for the 50th anniversary of the race.
Drinks! by the Charles will be held at the Regatta big-top tent near the Finish Line at Attager Row on Saturday, October 17 from 6:30PM-9PM. Attendees will have a front row seat for the awarding of first place medals and trophies for the Men's and Women's Championship Singles and Doubles events. Tickets include passed hors d'oeuvres from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, including ahi tuna, prime sliders, tomato mozzarella skewers, and cheese and fruit with crostini, along with wine and Sierra Nevada beer. Dress is smart casual—bow ties and rowing blazers encouraged!
In the words of Steve Carr, longtime competitor and former trustee, "the Head is more than a race. It is a celebration and reunion. The rowing congregation gathers each fall to renew rivalries, measure speed, and enjoy their common passion. Each year after the races have been rowed and the medals awarded, the competitors gather, relax and enjoy a beer or two before they return home and begin training for next year's Head." So buy your tickets for Drinks! by the Charles today and we'll see you at the party!
Tickets are $45 and are selling out quickly! Don't miss out! Please note, this is a 21+ event. To avoid parking concerns, attendees are encouraged to use Uber for transportation.
