What’s new for Vintage Boat Parade & Pier Party
Attention all classic boat lovers, antique car enthusiasts, and motorcycle admirers - get ready to showcase your prized possessions in Boothbay Harbor’s Vintage Boat Parade & Pier Party, a highlight of Windjammer Days! This year, the festivities are bigger, bolder, and brimming with excitement, making it the perfect moment to get involved in this remarkable celebration of tradition and craftsmanship.
On Friday, June 27 at 4 p.m., history is showcased in a spectacular procession through the harbor. This year’s lineup introduces a fresh take - newer boats will lead the parade while the most treasured and oldest vessels bring the grand finale. Watch from anywhere in the harbor as each vessel tells a story of maritime heritage. But the excitement doesn't end with the parade!
After the boats proceed through the harbor to the applause and admiration of onlookers, many will dock at Bristol Marine's Shipyard, where the Pier Party unfolds from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tickets for the Pier Party are $65 and must be purchased in advance at www.boothbayharborwindjammerdays.org (please note this event sells out quickly). Step onto the pier at the Shipyard and enjoy live music from The Ruckus, complimentary appetizers provided by BHRG Catering, an incredible showcase of classic cars and antique motorcycles all set against the backdrop of a 166-year-old shipyard. It’s a place where nostalgia meets excitement, and enthusiasts gather to celebrate everything vintage.
