A fun and unique event, the Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta has quickly become a community favorite growing in size each year. The Regatta brings together residents, businesses, and visitors from across the Greater Washington, DC metro area. In this festive environment, Lake Anne Plaza swells with thousands of spectators who cheer on their favorite boats.

Participating teams of all ages construct and decorate their own life-size cardboard boats. These boats then take to the water in timed heats with team members rowing out to a designated buoy and back to the docks at Lake Anne Plaza.
