Newberg Boat Races Memorial Day

Since 1956, the Newberg Boat Club has hosted its annual Memorial Day Boat Races at Rogers Landing. The club organized marathon-style races on the Willamette in the early 1940’s and began the current circle-racing format in 1948. The Memorial Day Boat Races are open to the public and entrance is free for spectators.
