Festivals & Events

With the ever-increasing popularity of the show, there will have quite a few of the registered boats set up on land, reaching from the Lions Pavilion west along the boardwalk. Visitors to the show can explore an impressive display and sale of antique and vintage outboard motors organized by the Maple Leaf Antique Outboard Club. There will also be a Nautical Flea Market to browse through in search of unique and hard to find items. There will also be antique and classic boats for sale, fully restored, ready for the water or as a project to take on.

Families can take part in the children’s activities, shop in Vendors Alley, take in the Classic Car Show and enjoy a refreshment or meal at any of the waterfront restaurants.

To keep things moving and to show off their restored boats, owners will be taking them for a spin around the bay to the delight of the crowds and several owners will be offering the public free rides in their vintage boats.
