The 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 this festival – it’s 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 its 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 celebrate and explore unique Pacific Northwest maritime traditions!
