The 84th annual Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta will be held on the Cooper River in Pennsauken, New Jersey, instead of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia next year.
Boathouse Row along Kelly Drive in Philadelphia is usually packed with people every May for the rowing competition, the largest collegiate regatta in North America.That's because of the multi-million dollar dredging project at the Schuylkill River.
The Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta has been held annually for 83 years, so this move from its typical venue is a big change. "The Board of Directors of the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee, which stages the annual Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta, has voted unanimously to move the Regatta from the traditional site of the Schuylkill River National Racecourse to the Cooper River for the 2023 event to ensure successful production of the Regatta," said Jim Hanna, president of the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee.
