Whether you’re a boating enthusiast or prefer to keep your feet on dry land, the Annual Wooden Boat Show has activities for all ages. This free event, held each year on the first Saturday in May, celebrates the art of North Carolina traditional wooden boatbuilding and the sport of boat racing.

Dozens of handcrafted wooden boats will be on display, along with nautical demonstrations, and activities for children.

Check back as we prepare for the 2024 Wooden Boat Show, our 48th. Until then, check out the 2023 winners!
