Make a splash at Reston Museum’s Cardboard Boat Regatta on August 9, 2025, hosted on the historic Lake Anne Plaza.

Come as a spectator or a racer! Participating teams of all ages will construct and decorate life-size boats using cardboard and duct tape. Boats will take to the water in timed heats with team members rowing out to a designated buoy and back.

Register your team here, or spend a fun afternoon cheering as life-size cardboard boats set sail and race on Lake Anne!
