Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta Returns Following 2-Year Hiatus

RESTON, VA — Reston Museum's Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta is back for the first time in two years following a short break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to organizers, the Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta is a community event designed to foster a sense of Reston pride, celebrate the family-friendly atmosphere of historic Lake Anne Plaza and support the Reston Museum.

Participating teams of all ages will construct and decorate their own life-size cardboard boats. These boats will then take to the water in timed heats with team members rowing out to a designated buoy and back to the docks at Lake Anne Plaza.

Cosponsored by Lake Anne of Reston Condominium Association, attendees can watch the race for free on Aug. 13.

Registration closes July 13 or when we reach 80 boats, organizers said. To register, click here.
