Onancock Regatta Weekend Onancock Wharf |
|
A fun time
for all ages;
boaters & land-lovers. Visitors from across the Chesapeake Bay enjoy traveling to and from Onancock by boat for the Onancock Regatta Weekend while land-lovers enjoy traveling through the historic Eastern Shore of Virginia. Upon arriving in Onancock on the Chesapeake Bay's lower Eastern Shore, there is entertainment for all ages and local citizens enjoy the festivities that are within walking distance of their homes. It makes for a great outing.
2000 Sponsors Friday evening begins with the Bell Atlantic Charitable Dinner Dance. Saturday is spent with an array of activities (water sports, Chesapeake Bay exhibitors and vendors, food and beverages*) at Onancock Wharf and shopping is available at antique and retail shops in Onancock. Transportation by Star Transit (handicap accessible) is furnished both Friday and Saturday: Friday night transportation to and from Onancock Wharf for the Dinner Dance at the Eastern Shore Yacht and Country Club and Saturday for anyone planning to visit the North Street Playhouse, historic Kerr Place (home of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society) and for those shopping around town who would like to take a break and ride instead of walking.

Regatta
2000
September
15-17, 2000
The success of the regatta is largely responsible due to the support
of businesses in Onancock and on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. It could not be accomplished without
their contributions and in-kind donations; also through contributions by
the private citizens and personal contributions made by
members of the Onancock Business and Civic Association.
