Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival

Happening next weekend Sept 11, 12, & 13^th at the Point Hudson Marina.

Thousands of serious boaters of the Northwest look forward to this gathering of boating enthusiasts, shipwrights, exhibitors and entertainers on the 2^nd weekend of September.

2009 will mark the 33^rdfestival which keeps getting bigger and better every year. This event just makes it a bit easier to say goodbye to summer and ease into Fall. This year's theme is "Working Waterfront" a fitting title for this community's many boating related businesses.

There will be around 200 wooden vessels in the marina, most of which are available for touring. You can go aboard, linger awhile and see what they are like. Exhibitors are on site with new innovative boating gear and products with tips and educational materials for your use and safety.

Entertainment is ongoing with music in the beer gardens, delicious food, boat races and sail- bys in the harbor, and fun for the children: treasure hunts, fish printing, children's theater, and sea stories.

There will also be an exhibit of wonderful photographs of sailing schooners and boats by Michael Berman in the Pope Marine Park on water street. www.michaelbermanbeautifulphotography.com

Point Hudson Marina and Resort

This beautiful little marina is located at the tip of Port Townsend's historic waterfront district. It was the Coast Guard facility in the World War II era and beyond, and now is under the control of the Port of Port Townsend, and used for boaters, campers, and general recreation. It also is home to The Wooden Boat Foundation and various retail businesses, such as kayak builders, whale watching tours, sail makers, yacht sales and the marine trade. It caters to boaters needs for repairs, maintenance and equipment. Take a walk through this interesting area any day and you can see some interesting boats in the slips, people dining, walking, beach combing and camping in motor homes.
