There’s more to the 2017 World Rowing Championships than rowing.

Organizers have packed the nine-day event at Nathan Benderson Park with more than 100 performances and 200 vendors.

The opening ceremony set for 7 p.m. Sept. 23, and a pre-festival scheduled for 5 p.m. will include live music, fireworks and activities. The celebration is designed to introduce fans and athletes from around the world to the area’s circus history and culture. Both are free and open to the public. More
