The 167-year-old Sandown Bay Regatta returns this weekend with a packed programme of events, including a Hat Parade of eccentric headwear, which takes place at 2.30pm on Sunday.
The Regatta weekend kicks off with a dog show at Sandham Gardens, on Saturday morning, followed by a chance for all the family to learn how to play samba drums in the afternoon.
On Sunday, there’s a full programme of family entertainment along Sandown Esplanade, including a Punch and Judy show, audience participation with Horse Box Theatre, and magic from the ever-popular David Randini. The day-long fun at Eastern Beach will feature music from Soundwaves Entertainment. There will be a fireworks finale at 9.15pm along Culver Parade, sponsored by Driftwood Beach Bar.
