Let’s start with the basics, Regatta is an annual canoe race that takes place this Saturday September 24, 2016 in the downtown Indianapolis Canal off 11th street. The canal is easily accessible with gorgeous city views and ample grassy space for spectators-might I suggest a picnic basket?!

The Dog Costume Contest: bring your furry friend dressed in a festive costume from 10:30am-12:30pm, judging starts at 1pm.
