New Martinsville Vintage Regatta

About

Held on the Ohio River in New Martinsville behind Dos Hermanos restaurant, the Vintage Regatta brings 50+ vintage racing boats—ranging from 1940s through '90s models—to one of the fastest freshwater courses in America. It's a spectator-friendly event on Labor Day weekend with live music, food trucks, and onsite pit access where fans can meet drivers. The regatta benefits Easterseals, and the town's connection to boat racing runs deep—it's one of the most historic racing sites in the country.
