Port Townsend's annual Wooden Boat Festival is a place where kids and adults alike experience the magic of getting on the water, the beauty of wooden boats, and the richness of maritime culture. Festival-goers can learn from the experts, admire hundreds of beautifully crafted vessels, and swap stories with wooden boat aficionados.

Families can build a toy boat with the kids, watch t-shirt printing with real fish, and row Port Townsend Bay together on one of the festival's historic longboats. Friends can browse the variety of vendors, dig into local eats, and dance the night away — there's something for everybody at Wooden Boat Festival.

Tickets include access to all festival boats, all daytime presentations and demonstrations (excluding Nigel Calder workshops), exhibitors, music performances, kids' activities, and food vendors. Ticket sales support the year-round educational programs and events at Northwest Maritime.

The latest schedule and details are available through the organizer's website.
