99th Annual Hampton Cup Regatta

North America’s oldest continuously run hydroplane boat race is back for its 99th year! Enjoy a children’s area, food vendors, Bay Education, and environmental exhibits—East Mercury Bridge at Fort Monroe.

Spectating areas are on the Mercury Blvd. bridge that leads to Fort Monroe and the grassy area on Stilwell Drive. We recommend bringing your own seating.

Racing is typically ongoing between 11 AM – 5 PM but is subject to changes due to weather & safety conditions.

Parking is available on surrounding public Streets in Phoebus. There will be plenty of signage identifying “Boat Race Parking.” Parking may also be available on Fort Monroe. Stay on designated road ways and parking areas. Please do not park on the grassy areas unless otherwise permitted.
