Gearing up for the 33rd Annual Wooden Boat Festival
September 11-13, 2009

Wooden Boat Festival poster 2009

The premiere wooden boat gathering in North America, Port Townsend's Wooden Boat Festival is also the most educational and beautifully located wooden boat event in the world. Featuring 200 wooden vessels, a who's who of wooden boat experts and thousands of wooden boat enthusiasts, there's something to do, someone to meet or a boat to board at every turn. Expanded a little each year, the festival honors its traditions while inviting energetic debate about the latest innovation.

Quick links: FAQs (directions, accommodations, and more); volunteer (it's never too early!)
