It has been a pretty good stretch of weather in much of the province, and it looks like it will be a nice one around Quidi Vidi Lake tonight and tomorrow.
The Confederation 75 Royal St. John’s Regatta Committee is taking stock of the weather forecast not only for race day tomorrow, but for Regatta Eve tonight.
Environment Canada expects cloudy skies tonight in metro with no rain, and sunshine tomorrow with temperatures in the low twenties and light winds.
Regatta president Ashley Peach hopes for a good turnout for this evening’s festivities.
Musicians and concession stands will dot the landscape of the north bank of Quidi Vidi tonight.
🎶 Don’t forget about our FREE Regatta Eve Concert on Tuesday evening featuring the Salt Beef Junkies, The Ennis Sisters, and The Irish Descendants 🎶 Also, the @QuidiVidiBeer Beer Tent will be open between 6-10pm 🍻🙌 #RSJR24 pic.twitter.com/92U4dkLwah

Meanwhile, the prime minister will be in the capital city tomorrow for one of the most unique sporting events in North America.
Justin Trudeau is one of a number of honourary starters at this year’s Royal St. John’s Regatta.
The PM will fire the starter’s pistol for the Confederation 75 Commercial Senior Women’s Race at 2 p.m.
Other honourary starters include Premier Andrew Furey, St. John’s Mayor Danny Breen, and VOCM Program Director Greg Smith.
