45th annual Albert Gallatin Regatta expected to draw thousands of spectators
The Albert Gallatin Regatta is back for its 45th year in Fayette County.
Sixty-five powerboats are participating in the race at Point Marion Park during the free two-day annual event.
The festival also features live entertainment and a carnival and wraps up on Sunday evening with a basketball tournament and fireworks show.
“Our mission is to bring our community together in unity, along with our surrounding communities as well. Our Albert Gallatin Regatta is the biggest event we have all year long,” said Wendy Cottrell from Riverfront Park Associates — the group that organizes the event.
Thousands of people are expected to come out and enjoy the festivities.
