The Regatta
Since 1958, the Annual Regatta has been a summer highlight for Kosh Lake families on the Saturday and Sunday of the August long weekend. And, if the weather doesn’t co-operate, each day’s events get moved to the following day with a holiday Monday as the backup.
All events are open to paid-up Cottager Association members, their families and their guest. Cottage membership fees can be paid at the Public Beach day of, $25 per cottage.
In the event of very inclement weather, each day’s events will be moved to the following day with the holiday Monday as the backup, check Facebook.
The Lake Kasshabog Regatta is put on by local cottagers/volunteers. THANK YOU TO ALL!

2025 Regatta Wrap-Up
Regatta 2025 was fun to take part in this year. The weather was fantastic with light winds and sunny skies for both Saturday and Sunday of August long weekend. The 6 student volunteers jumped in with setup at 7:30 Saturday morning along with many cottage volunteers and family members to see the regatta through from start to finish. This event could not take place without everyone pitching in to help.
We gave out 495 ribbons this year to winners and participants in our land and water race events. Our girls from Stoney Point Marina were busy handing out ice creams, our food truck had a steady stream of customers, and the artisan market was well attended run by Dina and Ian Morris at the library on Saturday. Tie-dye t-shirts were a big hit again this year with young and old creating a new shirt. Our volunteers were organized and up to their elbows in colour dyes. Our new event of cornhole went well for the first time with Brayden, Wayne and Pete at the helm running a smooth game.
A huge thank you to Mike Worswick on the sailing event with set up and running the race, and to the Jamisons for the use of their beach at the finish line. Sunday's ski, volleyball and canoe marathon would not happen without the use of the Cosgroves' lovely sandy beach and announcing. (Randy, your voice held out for both days. Yeh!) The Holmes family, we couldn’t do this one without your ski boats running smoothly and keeping the course in excellent shape. We had a record number of 42 skiers this year. What a great day with all the enthusiastic volleyball players. We had 23 adult teams this year and 8 junior teams playing. Next year we plan to set up 2 nets to keep this event running smoothly.
To all the neighbors on the beach side on Saturday and out in front of the ski course on Sunday, thank you for putting up with the large crowds of boats and people on these two days. Thanks to all our sponsors, you had seven chances to win some great prizes along with the 50/50 draw.
Another great Regatta event for our 67th year. All the planning, organizing and yes, some stress over for another year. Regatta will always be a big part of my cottage life on Kosh Lake to look forward to with family and lake friends. Signing off! Thanks to all.
