Join us at Valentino Pier for the return of Red Hook Regatta, where remote-controlled, 3D-printed, and DIY boats take on an obstacle course along Red Hook’s picturesque waterfront. Pack a lunch, bring your DIY boata blanket, and enjoy science and art activities from Brooklyn-based community programs!

Participants of all skill levels are welcome. Whether you're a budding builder or a seasoned sailor, there’s something for everyone at this one-of-a-kind event that celebrates creativity and community.

Through May, we’ll host workshops at Second Sundays to support builders in creating their boats to participate in the public 3D printed or DIY boat races. Limited, electronic motor kits are available through Learn & Engage's programming—such as our May Second Sundays’s Red Hook Regatta Time Capsule workshop. Learn more on our Second Sundays page.

Have more questions about kits and participation? You can reach out to education@pioneerworks.org.

See you at the pier!

Red Hook Regatta is organized by Pioneer Works with support from Makelab, Red Hook Justice Center, and Red Hook Initiative. This program is supported in part by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
