This weekend begins something new, yet very familiar in the Pittsburgh area.
The Pittsburgh Brewing Company is hosting the inaugural “Rockin’ Regatta” June 7 and 8 along the Allegheny River at the brewery’s headquarters in Creighton, PA.
The “Rockin’ Regatta” takes place this Saturday (11 a.m. – 9 p.m.) and Sunday (11 a.m. – 6 p.m.) right off of Route 28 about 25 minutes north of Downtown Pittsburgh.
The celebration will feature music, river racing, food, fireworks and more for the entire family.
You’ll see sanctioned boat races that start and stop in front of the Pittsburgh Brewing Company. Much like the races you may have see at the Three Rivers Regatta in the past.
Participants from the Three Rivers Outboard Racing Association (TRORA) will compete in three APBA categories:
● Junior Class Hydroplanes – Perfect for young racers (ages 9+), these boats reach speeds of 40 mph with modified 15hp fishing outboard motors.
● Stock Class Hydroplanes – A step up in competition, these boats hit speeds of 55 mph and are based on driver size and weight.
● Modified Class Hydroplanes – The fastest of the event, these high-performance boats push past 85 mph, showcasing skill and precision.
There will be a cornhole tournament on Saturday, with the winner taking home a cash prize, tattoos available inside the brewery, food trucks and custom drinks, including:
● IC Light Berry – Draft + 12oz cans
Available early to mid-May. One-time brew while supplies last.
