Head of the Charles Regatta Guide

The Head of the Charles Regatta returns for its 60th anniversary, with races starting Friday at 7:45 a.m. and running until Sunday late afternoon.

For the best experience, veteran attendees recommend wearing walking shoes and strolling along the course to take in the sights and sounds, rather than staying in one place.

Popular spots to watch include the Weld Exhibition for food and drinks, and Riverbend Park, which offers a good viewing area between the Weeks Footbridge and the Anderson Bridge.

It's worth battling crowds to check out some of the many hospitality areas.
