Information
has glosseng: The Royal St. Johns Regatta is North Americas oldest annual sporting event with documented proof of 1816 boat races. There is credible contention that St. Johns regattas were held even earlier than 1816, likely in the 1700s. Held on Quidi Vidi Lake in St. Johns, Newfoundland, the Regatta is scheduled for the first Wednesday of August. If weather isnt suitable, and wind conditions are very important, the event is postponed until the next suitable day. Since Regatta Day is a civic holiday in St. Johns, this means that the weather actually determines whether or not workers have the day off – a matter sometimes complicated by late-night partying associated with the end of the George Street Festival the night before.
