The Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival (NBWBF) is an annual community event open to the public, dedicated to honoring and celebrating the heritage and craftsmanship of wooden boats. Now in its 10th year, the festival brings together boat owners, artisans, exhibitors, and the community in a shared celebration of maritime tradition.
We invite artists to apply to participate in this year’s festival and showcase maritime-inspired work to a passionate audience of boat enthusiasts and visitors. Please ensure both the
application and
online fee are completed to secure your spot. A portion of event proceeds supports maritime programs and other charitable organizations. Join us in celebrating this enduring heritage with the NBWBF community.
Applications are accepted on a first-come first-served basis and submitting an application is not a guarantee of inclusion in the event. You will be notified by separate e-mail of your inclusion in the event. Any fees charged will be returned should a vendor or exhibitor not be admitted.
