For over 30 years the Regatta has been a social and athletic magnet that has brought about informal gatherings strung along the banks of the Charles. In addition to the 50+ college rowing programs located within an hour of Boston, competitors from Florida, British Columbia, California, Texas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and yes, even Arizona, attract fellow alumna from their school to cheer them on their way.
In 2003, the Regatta began to support the college and university programs alumni gathering efforts by hosting the HOCR Reunion Village. As a service to both local and out-of-town spectators, the village provides a setting for clubs, schools, alumni groups, parents, boosters and "Friends" to connect and enjoy themselves against the backdrop of the greatest fall regatta in North America. This venue provides a weather-sheltered gathering spot on the Boston Shore at Weeks Footbridge, at about the halfway mark on the course.
This year the Reunion Village is hosting: (as of 10/11/04)
