ICYMI – the 2019 Three Rivers Regatta has been canceled. Since you don’t gotta regatta this weekend, we’ve put together a list of all of the other things you can do instead of the Three Rivers Regatta. There. In addition to the Moraine State Park Regatta and some of the Three Rivers Regatta events that will be held as planned, this weekend offers many other ways to explore Pittsburgh.
