The Head Of The Charles Regatta (HOCR) is a Boston area tradition that dates back to 1965 and has evolved into a massive, multiple-day, international rowing competition that draws approximately 11,000 athletes and 400,000 spectators, making it the largest rowing event in the world.

This year’s regatta takes place this Saturday and Sunday and is definitely worth checking out. Head down to the Charles River to cheer on these amazing athletes and enjoy all the activity around the regatta. Both sides of the Charles River will gather large crowds but the Cambridge side nearest Harvard tends to be the most crowded and fun place to both watch and partake in all the activities.

The organizers have created a great website that includes more information about the races, maps, and FAQs. You can learn more by visiting the official HOCR website, www.hocr.org.
