Carnegie Lake Regatta

35th Annual

SATURDAY, July 11, 2020
CANCELLED

It is sad, but unsurprising news that we are announcing the cancellation of the Carnegie Lake Regatta this year.  This decision derives from our commitment to the health and safety of our community during the Covid-19 pandemic, and is in keeping with Princeton University's decision to cancel summer programming in 2020.  We will miss hosting the regatta this year. We always appreciate greeting your club members, putting on a good lunch, and sharing the fun of racing with you all. We very much hope to be back on the water with more enthusiasm than ever in 2021.
