Victoria Classic Boat Festival

The Maritime Museum of British Columbia is proud to host the annual Victoria Classic Boat Festival! Join us on the docks to view 100+ classic boats, visit our floating exhibits, cheer on your favourite boats in the races, and take part in one of our many activities, workshops, and events!

For more than 40 years, the Victoria Classic Boat Festival has showcased classic boats from all over the Pacific Northwest each Labour Day Weekend. Each year, approximately 10,000 visitors tour the docks and the boats on display. In 2017, the Maritime Museum of BC took over operations of the festival, incorporating marine-related exhibitions and family-friendly programs into the weekend’s activities.

Admission is by donation (suggested $5).
