Regatta

You gotta Regatta

At IU Indianapolis, the city is our campus. Each fall, we take over the downtown canal for the annual homecoming event—the Regatta. Celebrating its 17th year in September 2025, we have a variety of events, challenges, contests, and more for all Jaguars and their families to enjoy.

 

Make an impact

Regatta is not just a canoe race—it’s a fundraiser for scholarships for IU Indianapolis students. When you choose to be a sponsor, you make a difference for our students.

Meet the steering committee

This event is made possible by student leaders who dedicate their time and talents. They spend about eight months leading up to the event planning, organizing, and creating an unforgettable experience.
