When you need a moment to cool down, head over to the Family Cool Down Zone. Beat the heat at The Captain’s Quarters and find some shade to play with puzzles, learn to tie knots with the Sea Scouts, or float your own cork boat in our special water feature.
Organizers are working on putting together an exciting performance schedule that’ll be shared closer to the event date.
Don’t forget to head down to the dock to admire wooden boats and ships of all kinds at this year’s festival. Visitors will see the SS Master, Gikumi, Double Eagle, and many other great boats and ships.
Pack your picnic blanket, grab some snacks, and head down to Steveston for one of Metro Vancouver’s favourite nautical celebrations.
