The waterfront is about to come alive—boats are arriving, tents are going up, and music will be rocking late into the night. Here are a few tips to make the most of your Wooden Boat Festival weekend:
Skip the Line—Get Tickets Now
Make your Festival day easy! Buy tickets online ahead of time, show your QR code at Will Call to get your wristband, and head straight to the fun. Kids 12 & under are FREE (with a paying adult).
Want in for FREE? Volunteer!
Join the volunteer community that makes the magic happen. Sign up for 1 shift = free entry that day, or 3 shifts = a free all-weekend pass. We still have lots of roles open—browse shifts and sign up here.
Festival Hours
- Friday: 9 AM–6 PM (Live music until 11:30 PM!)
- Saturday: 9 AM–6 PM (Live music until 11:30 PM!)

Parking & Transportation
Town can fill up fast—avoid the hassle! Use shuttles, park-and-ride, or bike in. Full details here: Parking & Transportation.
Friendly Reminder: No Dogs
We love your pups, but Festival grounds are for humans only (service animals welcome with a wristband from Will Call or HQ). Please make other arrangements for your furry companion.
