September 10-12, 2010

festival_poster10.jpgAbout the festival:  Port Townsend's Wooden Boat Festival is the most education-packed and beautifully located wooden boat event in the world. Featuring nearly 300 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. Check out the festival's wooden boats, or find times for your favorite music, talks, demonstrations and activities on the website. See below for printed program information available the week before the event.
