# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Philadelphia Cup Regatta
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 am – Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, October 3, 2026, sailors will race on the Delaware River in the shadow of the Ben Franklin Bridge, with the Philadelphia skyline as the backdrop — and this year, we’re doing it in honor of America’s 250th birthday.

There is no better place to mark the Semiquincentennial than the city where independence was declared, where Franklin flew his kite and founded his fire company, and where the Liberty Bell still stands. Liberty Sailing Club, the Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia, and Riverton Yacht Club are proud to host the Philadelphia Cup Regatta together for the first time, and we’d like your club on the water with us.

WHY REGISTERING EARLY MATTERS
Our sponsors have been generous, and the sooner we know how many boats are coming, the more we can secure for you: free and low-cost moorings, slips, and trailer storage. Those arrangements are made on the strength of our registration numbers — every early entry helps us lock in more for the whole fleet. Early entry fees run through September 8 ($30 Laser/Sunfish, $45 other dinghies, $70 keelboats), and rise after that.
Launching by crane at Independence Seaport Museum is available for designated one-design boats, and our logistics team is glad to help with storage and trailering.
