Sponsorship
Becoming a sponsor of the Royal St. John’s Regatta has a huge return on investment for any organization. With up to 50,000 visitors, making us the largest tourism event in Newfoundland and Labrador, the exposure to a wide-range demographic is phenomenal.
Sponsorship Benefits
Be associated with the oldest continuing sporting event in North America, which is also the largest tourism event in Newfoundland and Labrador. Its deep roots are a major part of Newfoundland history, with individuals from all over the province taking part.
With over 50,000 people in attendance yearly, from youth to senior citizens, the reach is astronomical, giving a large return on investment for our sponsors. In addition to our physical audience, you will be publicized to our web audience, which exceeds 20,000 visitors per month during the rowing season, and showcased on all of our social media platforms.
Sponsors also receive passes to attend various prestigious events, attended by prominent community members (including politicians and local celebrities) which provides great networking opportunities.
The Regatta draws crowds of up to 50,000 people annually to the shores of Quidi Vidi Lake. It is widely known as “the largest garden party in the world” because it has been about socializing as much as amateur sport. Concession stands, wheels of fortune, games of chance, and food & drink are just as much part of the Regatta’s history as the races.
Involvement
The organization hosts approximately 80 teams, with over 800 athletes consisting of rowers, coxswains, and coaches. We aim to engage younger rowers in our organization to ensure the longevity of the sport and the biggest community event, The Garden Party!
Mission
The mission of the organization is to promote the sport of fixed seat rowing and to organize the largest community-oriented event, The Annual St. John’s Regatta in perpetuity so that this event maintains the reputation as the “oldest continuing sporting event in North America”, having first been held in 1818.
