INFLATABLE REGATTA CRUISES DOWN MELBOURNE'S RIVERS
After a two-year hiatus, Melbourne's unique Inflatable Regatta is back, bigger and better than ever!
Returning to the Yarra river, the event will be hosting a second show on the Maribyrnong river, and has up-the-ante, announcing its after-party line up including Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef and DJ Joey Lightbulb.
The after-party, which starts at 12pm will see Melbourne based talent bash out some crowd favourites to thousands of relaxed sailors.The food and beverage line up is equally as tasty, with TOASTA, Beatbox Kitchen, Taco Truck, Blue Bonnet and Crepes for Change feeding the masses and a bar featuring a specialty cocktail, Prosecco and SAMPLE beer.
Other activities available on the regatta include lawn games, a market from Footscray Finds (Maribyrnong-leg only) and ample space for lounging around on picnic rugs post-float. This is a one-of-a-kind catch opportunity and the perfect place for New Year catch ups.
One of the few en masse events to be held down Melbourne’s waterways, the event will see more than four thousand people paddle down the two rivers, getting a unique perspective of our city.
Individually or with a rowing buddy in tow, participants are invited on a leisurely one to two hour paddle down river. Tickets include everything you need to get down the river; two-person boat, oars, life jackets and admission to a the after-party.
