2026 Olympia Wooden Boat Festival

For nearly half a century, the Olympia Wooden Boat Festival has been a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the love of wooden boats.

What began as a simple gathering of boat owners has grown into a vibrant waterfront festival featuring live music, artisan vendors, and hands-on experiences for all ages.

Join the opening on Friday, May 8, from 5-8 p.m., then again on Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. for the main festival, followed by an evening block party (5-7:30 p.m.) featuring incredible food and live performances.

Celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10 (11 a.m.-5 p.m.) - a perfect way to spend the day by the water with family and friends!

Free & open to the public. Come experience the magic of wooden boats and the heart of Olympia’s waterfront!
