About this event
Expected: the Sarawak Regatta is held annually on the Sarawak River at Kuching Waterfront in late October or early November. Sarawak Tourism's official regatta site programmes the 2026 edition from 30 October to 1 November 2026, with 43 races in local and open categories and the Raja Sungai (King of the River) Cup decided on 1 November, closing a wider festival that opened on 23 October with the Sarawak International Dragon Boat Regatta. No 2027 dates were published on the official site when it was checked on 2 November 2026, so this record carries the expected next edition window, Friday 29 to Sunday 31 October 2027, the analogous final weekend following the 2026 pattern.
