Boston is home to some of the world’s most iconic events — the Boston Marathon, the July 4th Celebration and Concert, and the Head of the Charles Regatta.

Join us for a Riverside Chat with the team behind the Head of the Charles (HOCR) — the largest multi-day regatta in the world and a true Boston tradition.

Discover what it takes to stage an event of this magnitude: ensuring the safety of 12,000 athletes as they race the storied course while creating an unforgettable experience for the hundreds of thousands of spectators lining the riverbanks. Hear how a full-time staff of just six and 2,400 passionate volunteers bring this extraordinary event to life each October.

As the Regatta celebrates its 60th anniversary, gain insider insights into planning a multi-day event that seamlessly spans both land and water — and see why the Head of the Charles remains one of Boston’s most quintessential and celebrated traditions.
