6th Annual Fllip Flop Regatta


Whether you are a landlubber or a sailor, this event has something for everyone. Last year's Mount Gay Rum tent parties were heralded as some of the best Boston has to offer. This year will be even better, as we celebrate the Flip Flop Regatta’s 6th Anniversary! Come dance to incredible live music on the water under the Boston skyline.

This event benefits the ALLY Foundation.

Join summer favorite Entrain and the Grateful Dread aboard the Frederick L. Nolan, Jr at Boston Harbor Cruises out of Long Wharf in Boston on August 8 at 8pm

Will call tickets can be picked up at Boston Harbor Cruises at the gate where the Frederick L. Nolan, Jr is docked beginning 7pm night of show. Boarding will begin at 730pm. Ticket holders must be 21+ unless otherwise noted

Discounted parking will be available at the International Place garage across from the Boston Harbor Hotel just a short walk from Long Wharf.
