More than a boat show, the Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival is an immersive waterfront celebration of maritime heritage, craftsmanship, music and family fun. Open to the public at Balboa Yacht Club, the festival invites guests to explore 40+ beautifully restored wooden power and sailboats, meet master craftsmen, enjoy live entertainment, and hear the stories behind these historic vessels. Guests can also enjoy gondola rides, youth activities, maritime art and exhibits, BBQ, and waterfront entertainment throughout the weekend.
