Trieste: Barcolana Regatta
October 11, 2026
An event every year that begins at 12:00 am on day second of October, repeating indefinitely
This regatta is an annual boating competition that takes place in the gulf of Trieste in which 2,000 boat owners come together to test their skills on the Mediterranean. The main event is on the water and takes place on every second Sunday of October, but there are plenty of on-land activities to enjoy, in addition to a host of water events in the week leading up to the Barcolana itself.
