The best spots to watch? Try one of these locations:
- Walnut Street Bridge for an aerial view — this spot is 350 meters from the finish line, so be ready to cheer
- Coolidge Park for a quieter setting
- Ross’s Landing for a crowd, finish line view + a market
- Somewhere along the Tennessee Riverwalk for the spot you think is best based on the race course
- And if you don’t feel like braving the crowds, you can also watch the regatta via livestream
