JOIN US MAY 8-10 ON OLYMPIA'S WATERFRONT! ⚓︎

For nearly half a century, the Olympia Wooden Boat Festival has been a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the love of wooden boats. What began as a simple gathering of boat owners has grown into a vibrant waterfront festival featuring live music, artisan vendors, and hands-on experiences for all ages.

Join us Friday, May 8 for kick-off from 5-8PM, then again on Saturday, May 9 from 10AM - 5PM for the main festival, followed by an evening block party (5-7:30PM) featuring incredible food and a live performance from The Olson Bros Band!

Celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10 (11AM - 5PM) - a perfect way to spend the day by the water with family and friends!

Free & open to the public. Come experience the magic of wooden boats and the heart of Olympia’s waterfront!
