A San Diego Father’s Day weekend tradition, the San Diego Wooden Boat Festival is the premier event for Southern Californian wooden boat enthusiasts!

The festival provides a rare opportunity for the general public to view some of the most beautiful and well maintained wooden water crafts both vintage & new.

The weekend festivities include live music, food, a variety of booths, activities for kids and a raffle with a large assortment of valuable items donated from local businesses. All proceeds from the weekend will benefit the local Sea Scouts.

NOTE: Many vessels will be open to the public for on-board viewing.

All attendees will be required to remove their shoes before boarding any boat

We ask that you tread lightly as many of the wooden boats in the festival are vintage.
