Don’t forget that Door County is a very, very popular resort destination, so if you plan to find great accommodations for our Festival, you need to act fast. Don’t delay. Click here for lodging.

The Museum staff and Festival volunteers have been hard at work, and the 30th Anniversary Door County Classic and Wooden Boat Festival is going to be lots of fun for the whole family. It will be great to be together again!

You’ll get to explore the museum’s newly renovated exhibits, view Sturgeon Bay from the peninsula’s tallest building- the Museum’s Jim Kress Maritime Lighthouse Tower, take a classic boat ride, marvel at a fine collection of great boats, talk to the boats’ owners/builders, and much more. The Sikaflex boatbuilding competition- an annual wonder- will thrill the crowds on Sunday with its on-the-water race. There will be Wisconsin’s best fresh Whitefish sandwiches on Saturday, kids’ activities, and our traditional Boathouse sale of slightly used nautical treasures.

So don’t delay. Remember, we love all classic boats- wooden, fiberglass, aluminum, home-built, sail, outboard, inboard, show-perfect classics and user boats, too. Canoes, kayaks, and model boats fit right in. So joint the fun.

Register now.

And here’s something new-

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’re offering a special 30th anniversary pennant that you can purchase when you register. They are unique, limited in number, and are sure to be a great addition to your own collection of maritime treasures. They look great even when the boat is still on shore. Get yours today.

We’ll see you in August!
