Celebrate Lake Champlain and Support our Community
We hope you will join Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club this year as we host the 46th annual Mayor's Cup Regatta & Festival, Plattsburgh's most time-honored and highly anticipated summer tradition on Lake Champlain on July 8, 2023. Last year’s Mayor’s Cup raised over $18,000 which enabled us to purchase two handicap accessible beach wheelchairs for the City Beach as well as supporting many smaller requests such as donating diapers to low income families through the United Way’s diaper drive, as well as donating to the local food shelf and Christmas Bureau during this past holiday season.
On Saturday morning boats will participate in the Mayor's Cup Regatta, the premiere sailing competition on Lake Champlain. The Mayor’s Cup Regatta includes competitive races in three divisions - Cruising, Racing, and Multihull with prizes for all classes.
The Mayor’s Cup Festival will again be held at Plattsburgh’s City Beach, the crown jewel of the Lake City, boasting one of the longest sandy beaches on freshwater in the U.S. The one-day celebration will kick-off early with kayak rides and a 5K run/walk, and events are scheduled throughout the day for the whole family to enjoy. Live music and local breweries and food vendors will be at the beach as well to add to the day’s festivities.
The Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club hosts the Mayor’s Cup Regatta & Festival as a way for our community to come together and celebrate summer in the North Country and to enjoy the beauty of the Champlain Valley and the majestic Lake Champlain. Sponsorship donations not only help to support the events throughout the day on July 8th, but, more importantly, donations help Sunrise Rotary support community-based projects such as the ones mentioned above.
