The Midnight Ukulele Society out of Richmond will inspire audience participation with a familiar playlist\, and their unique sound and whimsical style on Friday evening. The Michael Clark Band feat. Tracy Clark on Vocals returns on Saturday evening because we just can’t get enough of that amazing sound! \nEvent Highlights:\nFriday\, July 31st\, 2026 – Happy hour at the Opti Bar with beer\, wine\, and signature cocktails at 4PM\, the Midnight Ukulele Society until 7:30PM\, light refreshments\, live auction previews\, tee shirt and swag sales\, skipper meeting and race registration\, Tickets: $12.\nSaturday\, August 1st\, 2026 – Racing begins at 11AM\, happy hour at the Opti Bar with beer\, wine\, and signature cocktails at 4PM\, the Michael Clark Band featuring Tracy Clark on Vocals until 9:30PM\, dinner\, dancing\, awards\, raffle\, and live auction beginning at 6:30PM\, Tickets: $35 for dinner + band; $25 for band-only. \nFor more information contact Lynn White or Tina Mennett at connect@rescueregatta.life or 804-313-9412.
