Cowes Week Friday Night

It is with regret that Cowes Week Ltd confirms that there will no fireworks, nor a Red Arrows show at the end of Cowes Week 2023.

With a decline in sponsorship income and a significant increase in costs the event is unable to fund the fireworks, although we recognise that it is a much loved tradition and should the opportunity arise in the future to reinstate them we would certainly look favourably upon that opportunity.

The Regatta Village will be open on The Parade with evening entertainment that is free and accessible to all, and for those who want to watch the boats the first race starts at 10:45 am on Saturday the 29th of July 2023 right off the entrance to the Medina River.
