Wooden Boat Festival

Description

At the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend - described as the largest wooden boat festival in North America -  kids and adults alike experience the magic of getting on the water, the beauty of wooden boats, and the richness of our maritime culture. Learn from the experts, swap stories with fellow wooden boat aficionados, and bring your family for a weekend of fun.

It’s a festival for the whole family - kids can build a toy wooden boat, tour the harbor, explore the tall ships, row a rowboat, enjoy the plays, sing sea shanties, dance to the live music at the main stage, go on a pirate treasure hunt, and more.

The festival will have a pirate parade on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. where kids can dress in pirate attire and participate in a costume contest!
