It's here! Expressions of interest to display your boat at the 2027 Australian Wooden Boat Festival are now open! We've had a steady stream of calls and emails asking when they'd open, so we're pleased to share that the time has come.

Displaying your wooden boat at the Southern Hemisphere's largest celebration of maritime culture is something special. Across four vibrant days, you'll be part of a living showcase of seafaring tradition, sharing your craft with the public and connecting with fellow boating enthusiasts.

Vessels of every size, shape and rig are welcome to apply.
