Step aboard a celebration of BC’s rich maritime heritage at the 47th Annual Classic Boat Festival!
From September 4–6, Victoria’s Inner Harbour transforms into a floating museum featuring up to 100 beautifully restored classic and heritage vessels. Many of the boats are open for public tours, giving visitors a rare chance to experience our coastal history firsthand.
Enjoy a weekend of family-friendly fun with live music, waterfront views, and community celebration while learning about the vessels that helped shape BC’s maritime past. Admission is by donation (recommended $5), with proceeds supporting the Maritime Museum of BC’s operations and collection care.
Come explore the docks, meet passionate boat owners, and celebrate Victoria’s incredible maritime heritage.
