🌟 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Today we're delighted to shine a spotlight on Star Fares Amusements, a valued sponsor of the 2026 Greencastle Regatta & Festival.

For generations, amusements and family entertainment have been a much-loved part of festival week, creating memories for children and adults alike. We're grateful to Star Fares Amusements for their support in helping us continue that tradition.

The success of the Greencastle Regatta & Festival depends on the generosity and support of businesses that believe in our community, and we're proud to have Star Fares Amusements as one of our sponsors this year.

On behalf of the Greencastle Regatta & Festival Committee, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for their sponsorship and support.

Be sure to support the businesses that support our festival and community.
