32nd Annual Classic Boat Show and Small Craft Festival

The 32nd annual boat show at the Michigan Maritime Museum will be held June 22, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event includes wood, fiberglass, and steel boats; power, sail, and paddle boats; large and small boats; models; radio-controlled boats; toy boat building for kids; and demonstrations. Our show is one of the oldest and most popular of its kind in the region. We draw boats of all kinds and sizes, from large auxiliary sloops to dinghies and canoes. We particularly welcome demonstrations, photo journals, or histories associated with your entry. Our aim is to help perpetuate the building, restoration, and use of classic boats and small craft and to give participants and the public an entertaining and informative learning experience. We will have demonstrations of maritime skills during the show.

Classic boat and small craft owners can find the registration form here. Registration deadline is May 25.
