The Moraine State Park Regatta planning is in full swing, and we are looking forward to belatedly celebrating the 50th anniversary of Moraine State Park, with three days of family-friendly fun beginning August 6, 2021.
This year’s event may look a little different than past years, but the regatta is excited about its re-focused mission. The event will be showcasing recreational opportunities, and promoting Moraine State Park.
Some notable events are listed below:
CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT: Join us for some fun-spirited competition at this year’s Moraine State Park Regatta!

The winning team will receive a prize. Grab your partner and start practicing now! Register here to join us for this new event. REGISTER FOR TOURNAMENT
BUTTERFLY RELEASE: Join us and release a monarch butterfly in honor of a special someone, in memory of a loved one, or just for fun! Monarch butterflies are now available for pre-purchase here. Claim your pre-purchased butterfly at the table that corresponds with the first letter of the purchaser’s last name between 2:30-3:30PM on Sunday, August 8th. This release fills the sky with the color and movement of one of nature’s most beautiful creatures, the Western Pennsylvania Monarch. After 4:00PM, individuals who pre-purchased Monarchs are welcome to release their butterflies in private, or alongside the mass release. Names (in honor of/in memory of) that were included at the time of purchase will be listed on the Regatta website. At 4:00PM, we will present a mass release of nearly 500 butterflies.

NEW RAMP: Leadership Butler County class of 2020/2021 has a goal of raising $50,000.00 that will be used to install an ADA Accessible EZ Dock at Moraine State Park – South Shore.
