About this event

The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show is a two-day maritime festival held annually on the third weekend in October in historic downtown Georgetown. The event features over 100 classic wooden boats displayed on land and water, a wooden boat building competition where teams construct rowing skiffs in four hours, a corrugated boat regatta, children's model boatbuilding activities, knot tying demonstrations, maritime arts and crafts, live music, and food. The show attracts thousands of visitors and participants from across the Southeast. It takes place along Front Street and the waterfront in Historic Downtown Georgetown, with water exhibitors docking at the marina and land exhibits set up along the downtown streets. The event is organized by the Harbor Historical Association and raises funds for the South Carolina Maritime Museum. Vendors and craftspeople showcase wooden boats, maritime art, models, and related products. The waterfront location and community atmosphere make it a premier event for wooden boat enthusiasts and maritime heritage promotion.
