There will be a Regatta Eve Concert today on the shores of Quidi Vidi.

The concert will feature School of Rock from 5:00 pm to 5:45 pm, Old Contemporaries from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm, and Siochana from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

Metrobus will operate its load-and-go service between Confederation Building and Dominion, Kings Bridge Road between 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm on August 1. Accessible Metrobuses will be available.

Royal St. John’s Committee President, Noelle Kennell- Thomas said, "Being pondside on Regatta Eve has become a part of many rowers, vendors and spectators’ Regatta week tradition. Feeling the air of anticipation, sampling some of the delicious food truck offerings, and playful banter amongst friends as to whether the races will be a go or not, will be made all the more special this year with music from talented local artists. Many thanks to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for supporting this exciting and fun community event."
