The Oklahoma Regatta Festival in the Boathouse District on the Oklahoma River is the premier fall event in Oklahoma City and a four-day celebration of all things rowing, kayaking, and dragon boating. The family festival also features a children's area, fireworks, and fantastic food from some of the city's best restaurants. And for those who like a drink with our festivities, there's a beer and wine garden, too. Plus, you'll get a front-row seat for all the racing action.
