The Pittsburgh Regatta occurs each year around July 4th. Held at the point of the three rivers (Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny for those keeping score), the view of the events on the Allegheny is impressive, with the skyscrapers of downtown as the backdrop.
First up this day – Dragon Boat Races
The cruise ships were busy.
Later the power boats came out for high speed racing.
Sometimes it’s good to have more than 1 major river. In 2007 Point Park in Pittsburgh was under construction so they moved the Pittsburgh Regatta from the Allegheny River, between the stadiums and the park, over to the Monongahela River.
The new location, when watched from the Mon Wharf, gave a great backdrop of Mount Washington, Station Square and the south side riverfront for a background.
