About Mayor's Cup Regatta
For nearly 20 years, the Mayor's Cup Regatta has been one of our largest fundraisers & the only one of it's kind in New England. The Regatta raises funds to provide & expand our adaptive sports programs, Since 1995 we've impacted thousands of adults and kids living with a disability.

Luau tickets are included in some registrations and everyone (racing or not) may purchase tickets for the party. Bring your friends and family for this fun filled day with music, food, races, on shore activities & more.
