Spectators and participants are urged to attend the 19th Annual Classic & Wooden Boat Festival
at DCMM's waterfront grounds in Sturgeon Bay! August 1 & 2, 2009.
Hours on Saturday are 9AM - 4PM and on Sunday from 10AM - 4PM.

New events and new grounds layout!
Due to significant feedback from both exhibitors and attendees after last year's show, trailered boats will now be displayed prominently in the front parking lot area, which will be encompassed in the festival perimiter and allow for easy drive-in access for set-up. Small craft will still enjoy the grassy waterside area, and in-water displays are welcome,
but space is extremely limited (please call for dock availability).
