Our Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival celebrates the history, the craft, and the culture of traditional wooden boats, large and small. There’s nothing stuffy about our festival. This is an old-fashioned, down-home, waterfront event where everything is fun, and most things are free: classic sailboats & motorboats you jump aboard and meet the owners; tours of Lake Union on our historic fleet; hands-on games for the entire family; educational exhibits; maritime retail vendors; live music all day; beer garden; and a fine array of Seattle’s famed food trucks!

Come join us to celebrate and explore our unique Pacific Northwest maritime traditions.
